(This comes after working around Bug #889864)

Compiled with this patch, now gives: ImportError: libdbwrap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

.build file has a matching dpkg-shlibdeps warning for libpdb.so and libsmbconf.so.0:

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: couldn't find library libdbwrap.so needed by debian/python-samba/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libpdb.so (ELF format: 'elf64-x86-64'; RPATH: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba').
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: couldn't find library libdbwrap.so needed by debian/python-samba/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmbconf.so.0 (ELF format: 'elf64-x86-64'; RPATH: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba').

And there are more missing libraries:

For debian/python-samba/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmbconf.so.0:

libCHARSET3.so
libdbwrap.so
libsmbd_conn.so
libsmbd_shim.so
libsmbregistry.so
libstring_init.so
libtdb_compat.so
libutil_malloc.so
libutil_sec.so

For debian/python-samba/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libpdb.so:

libsmbd_shim.so
libsmbregistry.so
libdbwrap.so

With the latest patch I now get samba-tool working after compiling with dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc and following
the dance in Bug #832465 to install samba4, then manually locating the following libraries in the just built sources
and copying them to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/:

libkdc-policy.so
libCHARSET3.so
libadt_tree.so
libnamearray.so

After this the samba-tool manages to display it's help text when called without options.

This bug was fixed in the package samba4 - 4.0.0~alpha17.dfsg2-1

---------------
samba4 (4.0.0~alpha17.dfsg2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove more non-free IETF files. Closes: #547280
  * Rebuild for newer version of ldb.

This is not fixed yet, these three libraries are still not installed:

libCHARSET3.so
libadt_tree.so
libnamearray.so

Thus loading samba.samba3 fails after install. E.g.:

# python -c 'import samba.samba3'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/samba3/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
    import passdb
ImportError: libnamearray.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Hmm, I'm not sure why the janitor tried to mark it as fixreleased.

This is an upstream bug btw, and one that should be fixed with the next upstream release. libCHARSET3.so isn't installed by upstream at all in alpha17.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package samba4 - 4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-4

---------------
samba4 (4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add patch 08_smb2_deps: Remove (unnecessary) dependencies on various
    private Samba 3 libraries, for which proper package Depends: lines were
    missing. Closes: #665295
  * Add dependency on tdb-tools. This will be removed once upstream
    removes the use of tdbbackup in provision. Closes: #664658
