Title:
krb5-admin-server postinst has broken debconf if RUN_KADMIND set in
/etc/default/krb5-admin-server
Status in krb5 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Package installation fails on postinst due to broken debconf when
/etc/default/krb5-admin-server sets RUN_KADMIND to a value.
This happens because the .config script [0] sets debconf question krb5
-admin-server/kadmind to the defaults file value when set to a value.
But the .templates file [1] has no entry for this question resulting
in a lookup failure.

This bug seems to go back to at least Xenial (and also affects debian
packaging too). We worked around this locally by removing RUN_KADMIND
from our local defaults file, but this was an annoying bug to sort out
and should probably be fixed. That said I'm not sure if it would be
more appropraite to remove the db_set from [0] or add the question
back to [1].
