mount-cifs is included in >samba-client-3.3 so just unemerge mount-cifs and upgarde net-fs/samba-client

I'm dealing with the same issue right now.
samba-client is a masked package.
So you fixed the bug as invalid by recommending to emerge a masked package which is not a very good approach I believe.
Also, cifs is a new name for samba, or at least that's what most people think, so it's not a good approach to replace cifs with samba, or is cifs is getting renamed back to samba? What are the latest naming trends out there?

Comment 4 Oleg Mikheev 2010-06-02 06:32:10 UTC

Ok, the good solution as of now would be installing the samba monolithic package with "-* client" in package.use
