It seems like realm tries to install samba-common-bin from the trusty repository while apt tries to satifsfy the dependencies from the trusty-updates repository.

trusty: samba-common-bin (2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2)
trusty-updates: samba-common-bin (2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.1)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Brian R (brianr-5)]

Is there a workaround?

[Elias Probst (eliasp)]

Workaround:

- make sure the required packages are installed
- uncomment the line "samba-common-bin = /usr/bin/net" from /usr/lib/realmd/realmd-distro.conf
- stop realmd (it will be automatically restarted when needed): "sudo killall realmd"

Try again…

[DrF (z-launchpad-net-the-huberts-net)]

My Workaround was to disable the "trusty-updates" repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list, run the setup and later re-enable "trusty-updates"

[Thiago Martins (martinx)]

My workaround (I think) was to install packagekit, but I'm not 100% sure... I'll test it more this week...

[Thiago Martins (martinx)]

BTW, yes, installing packagekit fixed the problem... I did:

killall aptd
apt-get install packagekit

Then, `realm -v join domain.com -U Administrator` worked!

[Thiago Martins (martinx)]

This BUG might be related to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+bug/1319454

[Thiago Martins (martinx)]

Also, instead of installing packagekit (I mean, before installing it), I tried to add the following lines to /etc/realmd.conf:

--
[service]
automatic-install = no
--

But it did not fixed the problem... I previously installed all the packages by hand, still did not worked... With packagekit installed, it goes smoothly...

[DrF (z-launchpad-net-the-huberts-net)]

Installing packagekit improves the situation, but I also must install adcli, then everything works:

killall aptd
apt-get install packagekit adcli
reaml join ...

[Myles Gray (mutant-tractor)]

Bug still present - needed to install packagekit to allow realm join to complete successfully.

[Veiko (veiko-ohbugger)]

Wow this is still bugged after so much time.

I ended up on this page after doing a fresh ubuntu 14.01 install with all updates. Needed to join it into a domain, instead i got this after typing realm join --verbose mydomain.me

And yes, the simple fix works - replacing aptd with packagekit, as other people already pointed out.

[Alex Hart (alexjhart)]

If I apt-get install packagekit before installing realmd and running join, everything works. Seems like the realmd package should just have packagekit dependency to resolve this?
