Hi Stefan, I wasn't aware that 4.20.1 had hit backports, so I just
updated one of my DCs and it just worked, no errors and 'wbinfo -g'
works.

I did get this message before the upgrade:

apt-listchanges: News
---------------------

samba (2:4.20.1+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  Active Directory Domain Controller (AD-DC) functionality has been
  split out of samba-the-file-server package into its own separate
  package name samba-ad-dc.  This includes the samba binary and a few
  support executables.  Please install samba-ad-dc package separately
  if you need AD-DC functionality on your system.

Perhaps you haven't got the samba-ad-dc package installed, but it looks
like you have, very strange.
