Bug Description
Binary package hint: authtool
I apt-get installed authtool-gtk (and so 'authtool' itself) on a already working feisty laptop, no complains about krb5 dependencies.
When starting authtool-gtk ('sudo authtool-gtk'), I've got the following error message:
olem@lembox:
/usr/lib/
warnings.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/
app = AuthtoolGTK()
File "/usr/bin/
self.authtools = Authtools()
File "/var/lib/
self.
File "/usr/share/
default_realm = self.db.
File "/var/lib/
return self.db.get(item)
File "/usr/lib/
lambda *args, **kw: self.command(
File "/usr/lib/
raise DebconfError(
debconf.
After installing krb5-config (apt-get install krb5-config), authtool is starting only with some warnings:
olem@lembox:
/usr/lib/
warnings.
<auth_methods.

Setting Local
I think it should be a good thing to :
. place a dependency on krb5-config if you feel it's really mandatory to have krb5 in any cases (I'm not sure it's the correct way)
. have a check at starting to verify if krb5-config is installed or not, and place a explicit warning for users wanting to use Kerberos for them to install krb5-config package
Cheers,
