+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #754783 +++ Description of problem: /lib/libpthread.so.0 [ajax@f17 ~]$ ldd -r -u /usr/lib/libsmbclient.so.0 26483: /usr/lib/libsmbclient.so.0: error: relocation error: symbol krb5_locate_kdc, version krb5_3_MIT not defined in file libkrb5.so.3 with link time reference (continued) symbol krb5_locate_kdc, version krb5_3_MIT not defined in file libkrb5.so.3 with link time reference (/usr/lib/libsmbclient.so.0) Unused direct dependencies: linux-gate.so.1 [ajax@f17 ~]$ rpm -q libsmbclient krb5-libs libsmbclient-3.6.1-75.fc17.i686 krb5-libs-1.10-0.fc17.alpha1.0.i686 Consequently, F17 builds that link against libsmbclient will fail because not all symbols resolve. --- Additional comment from kevin.org on 2011-11-19 23:12:17 EST --- … or they'll succeed, but without SMB support. :-/ xine-lib fails to detect libsmbclient because of this and just proceeds to build without it, though the file list in the RPM is strict enough so the missing plugin will fail the build. Either way, this is going to break a lot of things. --- Additional comment from ajax on 2011-11-21 12:38:31 EST --- samba-3.6.1-76.fc17 is a rebuild without this symbol: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3530245 samba's configure magic checks for this symbol and compiles without it if it's not present, but that's probably a loss of functionality. Simo assures me it's being investigated, but I'm leaving this bug open in the meantime until a proper fix is found. --- Additional comment from asn on 2011-11-22 07:12:05 EST --- Without it, the 'net lookup kdc <realm>' will not work. This gives the IP address of a KDC for the specified REALM. There is no other use of this function. --- Additional comment from updates on 2012-04-22 19:17:02 EDT --- samba-3.6.4-83.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/samba-3.6.4-83.fc16 --- Additional comment from updates on 2012-04-24 10:56:23 EDT --- Package samba-3.6.4-83.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: An update of the system Kerberos library to a recent version can make Samba binaries and libraries suddenly unusable because Samba was using a private library symbol. Consequence: Samba was no longer usable after an Kerberos update. Fix: Samba has been fixed to no longer use that private symbol. Result: Samba continues to operate when the Kerberos library has been updated.
