Bug#1070031: heimdal-kdc: fails to install if /usr/bin/kadmin is not Heimdal kadmin

Show all headers | View raw

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'
kadmin: invalid option -- 'l'
Usage: kadmin [-r realm] [-p principal] [-q query] [clnt|local args]
              [command args...]
	clnt args: [-s admin_server[:port]] [[-c ccache]|[-k [-t keytab]]]|[-n] [-O | -N]
	local args: [-x db_args]* [-d dbname] [-e "enc:salt ..."] [-m] [-w password] where,
	[-x db_args]* - any number of database specific arguments.
			Look at each database documentation for supported arguments
dpkg: error processing package heimdal-kdc (--configure):
 installed heimdal-kdc package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

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
