I have the same issue. Created a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10, changed to automatic mount options. Wanted to shared media Drive but got this notice " Could not find package 'libpam-smbpass'.
I am using links to access folders in these drives via home folder but I do not belive this should affect the install of the samba package itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726143 Title: Automatic installation of samba fails with "could not find package libpam-smbpass" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-share/+bug/1726143/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
