[Bug 120892] Re: [authtool 0.2.0/feisty]: debconf.DebconfError if krb5-config is not installed

@Mantas:

You are probably right, that not all users need Kerberos, but the
application won't start without it. So there are two approaches:

1. Patch the application so it can start and finds out about missing
tools itself. See #86379 for a similar samba-bug.

2. Add the dependencies. As this is not a main utility you can choose
whether to install or not. Currently installing it brings you a broken
application. Adding at least more dependencies will probably be more an
Ubuntu style user choice than provides backtraces on the screen.


I am marking this bug as duplicate of the quite older #86379 as the krb-dependency is also discussed there together with the samba-dependency and it should be decided once how to proceed with this issue.
