Package: heimdal-kdc
Version: 7.8.git20221117.28daf24+dfsg-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I noticed that if the package krb5-user is installed, then heimdal-kdc
fails to install, because /usr/bin/kadmin is the wrong one:
# apt install krb5-user
[...]
# ls -l /etc/alternatives/kadmin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 27 03:42 /etc/alternatives/kadmin ->
/usr/bin/kadmin.mit
# apt install heimdal-kdc
[...]
Setting up heimdal-kdc (7.8.git20221117.28daf24+dfsg-5+b1) ...
kstash: writing key to `/var/lib/heimdal-kdc/m-key'

[command args...]

local args: [-x db_args]* [-d dbname] [-e "enc:salt ..."] [-m] [-w

[-x db_args]* - any number of database specific arguments.
Look at each database documentation for supported
arguments

The MIT alternative has a slightly higher priority (30 vs
heimdal-clients 23), so update-alternatives prefers it.
# update-alternatives --display kadmin
kadmin - auto mode
link best version is /usr/bin/kadmin.mit
link currently points to /usr/bin/kadmin.mit
link kadmin is /usr/bin/kadmin
slave kadmin.1.gz is /usr/share/man/man1/kadmin.1.gz
/usr/bin/kadmin.heimdal - priority 23
slave kadmin.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/kadmin.heimdal.1.gz
/usr/bin/kadmin.mit - priority 30
slave kadmin.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/kadmin.mit.1.gz
I guess the Heimdal maintainer scripts should call kadmin.heimdal
explicitly. I have not checked whether any other commands are affected.
thank you,
Ryan
