auth-client-config dies on '%'

[Niall Sheridan]

auth-client-config chokes if a config contains the '%' character, causing some configuration to fail, e.g.
  account sufficient pam_krb5.so ccache=/var/run/ccache/krb5cc_%u

Forgot the traceback.

Thank you for reporting this issue and helping to make Ubuntu even better. Until the proper fix is uploaded, a workaround is to use '%%' instead of '%' in the profile.

If you are using the '%%' workaround, you should remove it now that it is fixed.
