Bug Description

I'm working on merging samba from Debian (2:4.13.2+dfsg-1), and while running the autopkgtests for the package I noticed that two tests are failing. These tests attempt to invoke mount.cifs in order to mount a user mount point. I investigated and found this on dmesg:

[ 53.586709] CIFS: Attempting to mount //localhost/myshare1760
[ 53.586735] CIFS: Unknown mount option "symfollow"

After some more investigation, I noticed that there are both a Debian and an upstream bug reported about this failure, and that upstream has fixed it in util-linux 2.36.2.

I would be nice to have this version in hirsute so that cifs user mounts can work again.

Set priority to High because it will block samba from migrating, which will in turn block Python 3.9 from migrating.

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.36.1-1ubuntu2

---------------
util-linux (2.36.1-1ubuntu2) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * Unbreak mount.cifs user mount (LP: #1905510)
    - d/p/libmount-don-t-use-symfollow-for-helpers-on-user-mounts.patch:
      Backport from upstream patch to fix user mounts on mount.cifs,
      because the "symfollow" option became unknown.

util-linux (2.36.1-1ubuntu1) hirsute; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Build hwclock with audit support.
    - Drop debian/hwclock.rules and debian/util-linux.hwclock.default, recent
      kernels sync the RTC automatically.
    - Add sulogin-fallback-static-sh.patch: Add support for /bin/static-sh as
      fallback if the regular shell fails to execute. Patch ported from
      sysvinit. (see LP #505887)
    - Add sulogin-lockedpwd.patch: Make sure file systems can be fixed on
      machines with locked root accounts (as Ubuntu does by default). Don't
      require --force for sulogin.
    - Clean up weekly fstrim cron file, now a systemd timer unit.

util-linux (2.36.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream stable release
  * Remove upstream applied patches

util-linux (2.36-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Holger Wansing ]
  * Re-add Tajik debconf translation file (somehow lost from eject package).
    Taken from bug #890079.
  * Update Norwegian Bokmål debconf translation according to last state in
    eject package (taken from bug #923919).

  [ Slimane Selyan Amiri ]
  * Add Kabyle translation for eject (via Hoger Wansing)

  [ Chris Hofstaedtler ]
  * flock: keep -E exit status more restrictive (Closes: #973751)
