Thanks, this is similar to (but not the same as) bug 94134 as it's trying to fetch debconf values that don't exist when krb5-config isn't installed. I'll try & do a new upload of authtool in the weekend after beta freeze.

pretty close to release, do you have a fix and just haven't released it? Please do. Thanks

The patch did neither arrive in Gutsy nor in Hardy as you can see in #86379. Can you please double check this and try to reupload to Hardy? It would be nice having this one fixed in Hardy. Please also check against samba-dependency.

The bug still exists in Intrepid. No new release of this package has occurred since initial packaging on 7 Feb 2007
