I found no bug reports...

[Teriarch]

The bug i due to a very unfortunate situation and concerns multi-arch systems. The man page

/usr/share/man/man7/libsmbclient.7.gz

of the i386 and amd64 Debian packages of libsmbclient became published before
and shortly after midnight. Since the man page includes this date, they became different
(albeit in only one byte). On multiarch systems shared files must be exactly the same and
hence the package manager complains and refuses to complete the installation with
consequences for all remaining packages. It is possible to remedy the situation by replacing
the manpage of one architecture package by the other, but it's probably not worth the effort.
I suggest you simply wait; it'll come to them sooner or later.
