Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
In the Lucid release, nagios3 and smbclient are both located in the main section of the archive; this part of the archive is officially supported by Canonical and as such no dependencies can be made between packages in main and packages in universe (supported by the wider Ubuntu community). Samba 4 is still an alpha release (and hence located in universe) and won't at this point in time even be considered for inclusion in the main archive even in the development release. Although the change you suggest would resolve your issue, it will break the main -> universe rules and would not be accepted into the nagios3 package. Thanks again for taking the time to report this bug. ** Changed in: nagios3 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nagios3 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704377 Title: nagios3 requires smbclient, tries to uninstall samba4-clients -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
