Original description:

[Issue]
The libwbclient-sssd package provides a libwbclient.so.0.14.0 library which
enables winbind queries (i.e. wbinfo) to use sssd as a framework.
However, when libwbclient-sssd package is installed, the symlink to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwbclient.so.0 is not recreated to point out to the
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sssd/modules/libwbclient.so.0.14.0, thus not enabling
such functionality until a manual procedure (re-symlinking) is made by the user.
I have inspected both ealier (xenial) and latest (eoan) packages, and none of
them contain postinst/postuninstall scripts that would create/remove the
expected symlinks, respectively.
It is unclear as of now if it *is* expected that the symlinks should be
recreated by the user or else. There have been discussions [1] about this in
the past, but they were closed with inconclusive comments. This bug is being
opened to either have the packages' postinst/postuninstall scripts
create/remove that symlink, or either to document the need of proceeding with
such operation manually.
[Impact]
The use of features included in libwbclient-sssd's library are not usable until
the symlink for libwbclient.so.0 is manually created.
[Reproducer]
Install sssd + winbind + dependencies.
Check the symlink of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwbclient.so.0 points out to
the libwbclient.so.0.14 library:
$ ll /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwbclient.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 23 12:06
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwbclient.so.0 -> libwbclient.so.0.14
Install libwbclient-sssd.
Check the symlink of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwbclient.so.0 still points
out to the libwbclient.so.0.14 library:
$ ll /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwbclient.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 23 12:06
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwbclient.so.0 -> libwbclient.so.0.14
[Workaround]
Using update-alternatives (either with --config or --install, pointing out to
the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sssd/modules/libwbclient.so.0.14.0 library,
enables the use of wbinfo + sssd.

The 'sssd' debian maintainer, proposed to fix this behaviour inside samba
just like Fedora did:

As stated in this launchpad bug report, sssd-wbclient library is
being deprecated and is not recommended for general usage, so nothing
is expected from the samba side either.
Closing this bugreport.
Thanks,
