Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading libcap2:amd64 from 1:2.44-1 to 1:2.66-3, I see the following error messages in auth.log:

smbd[...]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_cap.so): /lib/security/pam_cap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
smbd[...]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_cap.so

This was reported previously, but I had to submit a new report as the original one has been archived. See: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=951144

It seems to be a transient issue, because it disappears after restarting Samba using 'systemctl restart smbd.service'.

Best regards,

Timo
