[Bug 1807177] [NEW] Package samba-vfs-modules missing file glusterfs.so

[Neil R]

Public bug reported:

ENVIRONMENT
~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release:18.04

$ apt-cache policy samba-vfs-modules
samba-vfs-modules:
  Installed: 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.5
  Candidate: 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.5
  Version table:
 *** 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.5 500

Packages

 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages


EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
I expected file `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/glusterfs.so` to be 
installed.


ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
The file is not present.  I asked on the Samba mailing list and they confirmed 
(https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2018-December/219821.html) that this 
file is missing from all of the Ubuntu Samba packages 
(https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=cosmic=any=contents=glusterfs.so).
  (As I look at the search results on that last page, it appears to be missing 
for Trusty, Xenial, Bionic, Cosmic, and Disco.)

[Bug 1807177] Re: Package samba-vfs-modules missing file glusterfs.so

[Neil R]

Thank you for the (VERY fast) reply!  I don't really understand your
comment about there being a dependency since Gluster and Samba install
independently and the module in question (to my understanding) is only
enabled if specifically configured; but I guess it's irrelevant because
the bug you mentioned says that A) The security team "NAK"ed it (twice),
and B) As of 2018-09-25 it seems that there's not an [Ubuntu] team
willing to maintain it, so it will not be included in Main regardless.

My confusion notwithstanding, I honestly and sincerely appreciate your
quick response and letting me know that this will not be a path forward.


-Neil
