While experimenting with Samba, I noticed that some tools, especially samba-tools will not run, and crash: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- root@motor ~# samba-tool Traceback (most recent call last): File "/run/current-system/profile/bin/samba-tool", line 33, in from samba.netcmd.main import cmd_sambatool File "/gnu/store/78baaab8085rd5xnfrpdkxdf07zkmin9-samba-mod-4.13.14/lib/python3.9/site-packages/samba/__init__.py", line 29, in import samba.param ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'talloc' --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Doing more testing, other tools appear to not find the libraries they need too. The combination is as folows: - samba-tool, fails when tdb missing. - samba-gpupdate Idem. - samba_dnsupdate requires dnspython, but fails when talloc missing. - samba_downgrade_db" fails when tdb missing. - samba_kcc Idem. - samba_spnupdate" Idem. - samba_upgradedns" dns not found when talloc missing. I prepared a small patch to wrap up the inputs appropriately. I hope it is acceptable that they are all combined in one wrap procedure. dnspython was added as a new input too. Kind regards Simon
