Robie any chance I could get you to sync krb5 1.17-2 from Debian unstable to disco? It's probably not a big deal but there's no reason not to take the fix into Disco. > "Robie" == Robie Basak <1817...@bugs.launchpad.net> writes: Robie> Thanks Clark and Sam.

I was working with this a bit testing the upgrade from wheezy to buster on the Debian side. Wheezy is the only Debian release that is vaguely extant where this could come up. In my testing, Debconf didn't actually remove the template on an upgrade. So, The two cases where I found that I could reproduce the situation Were: * remove krb5-admin-server on the old release and install it on the new release (without doing an upgrade) * Copy in a /etc/default/krb5-admin-server from another system. Neither of those seems serious enough to backport a fix for. I'd rather wait until we get a better understanding of how this gets triggered before doing any changes to xenial. I agree though that if we need to change any old release xenial is the only target. --Sam -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817376 Title: krb5-admin-server postinst has broken debconf if RUN_KADMIND set in /etc/default/krb5-admin-server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/1817376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks Clark and Sam. Ubuntu doesn't support upgrade paths that skip LTS releases. So, ignoring EOL releases, we only need to consider Trusty->Xenial, Xenial->Bionic, Bionic->Cosmic and Cosmic->Disco. Does that save us a whole bunch of work? If only upgrading from 1.12 is affected, then from Ubuntu is Trusty->Xenial the only upgrade path affected? If so, is it just Xenial that we need to fix? ** Changed in: krb5 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: krb5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817376 Title: krb5-admin-server postinst has broken debconf if RUN_KADMIND set in /etc/default/krb5-admin-server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/1817376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We ran into this doing the upgrade from trusty to xenial. Perhaps address that transition (though trusty is nearing EOL). Maybe just remove the defaults file check all together so that package installs work reliably. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817376 Title: krb5-admin-server postinst has broken debconf if RUN_KADMIND set in /etc/default/krb5-admin-server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/1817376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think this is basically only a problem on upgrade from older versions of krb5, in particular from prior to the 1.12 era to the current packaging. As part of adding support for systemd units, I decided to drop support for the run_kadmind variable, and bungled the upgrade path. This is an issue for upgrades from trusty or precise to anything newer if you are running krb5-admin-server. There's a very simple work around: remove run_kadmind from /etc/default/krb5-admin-server. I'll fix for Debian shortly.
