Package: kstart
Version: 4.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

The k5start program repeats attempts to contact the KDC server if it is
unavailable. However, it continues to fail if a new network is available.

Steps to reproduce:
- Disable network interface
- Run k5start (e.g. k5start -f /etc/krb5.keytab -K 10 -u host/jason -k test.tkt)
- Enable network interface

I expect to see the error below repeated until the network comes back up, and
then it should stop:
k5start: error getting credentials: Cannot contact any KDC for realm 
'MY.REALM.NAME'

Instead, I continue to get errors until I stop the k5start process. Starting it
again after the network is available shows no errors and gets the ticket
correctly.
