Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Thank you also for reporting this to Debian and finding the upstream record.
If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, then the relevant procedure is documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates However, uploading point releases is generally not done to existing releases in an effort to prevent additional regressions. Because we currently do not have a delta with Debian, ideally we would sync over from Debian directly and get the fix. However, with the existing freeze this may not happen right away. I have added this to the server-next backlog to get looked at during the next release. Also I believe this is the commit to fix: https://github.com/krb5/krb5/commit/bc7594058011c2f9711f24af4fa15a421a8d5b62 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to krb5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683237 Title: krb5-user: kinit fails for OTP user when using kdc discovery via DNS Status in krb5 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in krb5 package in Debian: New Bug description: Zesty is now affected, please see the debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=856307 and upstream bug http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=8554 Would it be possible to get 1.15.1 (already released upstream) in zesty/zesty-updates?
