Package: samba
Version: 2:3.2.5-4
Severity: important
When investigating bug #510564 I noticed this
1. Share an ext3 folder with samba on a Debian host
2. On a Debian client, use nautilus to create two different files on the samba
share,
file.txt and file.abc. Put different content in the two different files
3. Rename file.abc to be file.TXT
4. Note that silently, file.txt has been destroyed. The icon in nautilus may
still be visible, but on opening it, it will show the contents of the original
file.abc
Because this involves dataloss, it may be considered a grave bug.
This is fixed by forcing case sensitive yes in the samba share (on the server).
In this case, file.txt and file.TXT are different.
It seems that "auto" case-sensitive doesn't work properly.
I used SWAT for the samba server admin. Debian in both cases (server and
client) was Sid.
I leave #510564 open because while I think samba should be fixed, it should
also be fixed in Nautilus, because there is no guarantee about the samba server
being a fixed version.

Version: 2:3.3.0-2
Looking at http://bugs.debian.org:80/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510564,
this bug appears to be present in the verson in unstable, while it
isn't.
This is because it was marked fixed by 2:3.3.0-1 which was in
experimental and then was followed by later versions, including those
uploaded to lenny.
Closing with 2:3.3.0-2 as version tagging (the first version in
unstable for 3.3) is probably better.
