I agree with Jonas above that Canonical/Ubuntu really must stop putting out sets of packages that are incompatible with each other, especially in LTS releases, ESPECIALLY when confirmed bugs go unsquashed. It would be better to not have Likewise in the distribution to begin with rather than have us waste our time trying to get the package from the repo working. Far better to just let people go to the BeyondTrust web site, download pbis-open, and install it manually. Because THAT actually works as advertised.
This is a significant issue that really should be corrected, especially for LTS releases such as 12.04. Fixing it in a later non-LTS release like 12.10 is not a good solution for anyone who uses this in a corporate environment. People choose LTS for stability, so if it's not fixed in the original LTS release, we end up having to deal with the issue for at least 2 years before we even have the option to upgrade to the next LTS release. I hope this is at least fixed in 14.04 LTS, but I won't get my hopes up. Similar bugs in likewise-open shipped with 10.04 LTS, forcing a manual installation from the Likewise website if you wanted it to actually work properly. It's been 4 years since 10.04. It's time to either get this right or remove it from the default repositories. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992970 Title: samba-interop not compatible with precise samba 3.6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/likewise-open/+bug/992970/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
