Bug Description

Please merge cifs-utils 6.4-1 from Debian testing or unstable to Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu Utopic still has buggy 1.5 year old 6.0 release :(

Only one minor difference should be left in Ubuntu packages:
  - debian/control: Demote winbind from Recommends to Suggests. This avoids
    winbind being pulled onto the CD images when it's not required.

The new version is already in Debian testing, so it should be a simple matter of syncing it.

In case this information helps, I'm running version 6.4 from sid on both Utopic and Trusty, and it works perfectly. Although of course I can't claim to use all the functionality the package offers.

---------------
cifs-utils (2:6.4-1ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1219752). Remaining changes:
    - debian/control: Demote winbind from Recommends to Suggests. This avoids
      winbind being pulled onto the CD images when it's not required.
    - debian/patches/stat_systemd-ask-password.patch: also check for
      /bin/systemd-ask-password before trying to use systemd's tools.
  * Dropped undocumented quilt dependancies wrt old debian format transition
    in debian/control and debian/rules, as those are not necessary anymore.
