Just a follow up, I'm getting the same issue on Ubuntu 22.10 as well. I reimaged the server from scratch and tried to install the following, which had the same issue:
apt -y install db-util db5.3-util krb5-admin-server krb5-config krb5-kdc krb5-kdc-ldap krb5-user ldap-utils libgssrpc4 libkadm5clnt-mit12 libkadm5srv-mit12 libkdb5-10 libltdl7 libodbc2 libsasl2-modules-gssapi- mit libverto-libevent1 libverto1 sasl2-bin schema2ldif slapd None of those should cause a conflict. I did a "dpkg-reconfigure" on all of them, and the only one with an issue is krb5-kdc, and on 22.10 the error is a slightly different line, "Could not execute systemctl: at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 145." That's line 145 instead of 142, seems like it's that systemd-invoke line, is there a way for me to get additional debug from that command? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to init-system-helpers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2003756 Title: Cannot configure krb5-kdc on Ubuntu Jammy 22.04.01, "Could not execute systemctl: at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 142." Status in init-system-helpers package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 22.04.01 LTS. After installing the server and running all updates, I run the following command: apt -y install slapd ldap-utils schema2ldif sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit krb5-kdc-ldap krb5-admin-server krb5-kdc This will be installing krb5-kdc 1.19.2-2. This is in preparation for setting up an OpenLDAP server, a Kerberos server with an LDAP backend, and saslauthd for pass-through authentication. krb5-kdc was auto-selected when running the steps in the guide here in my development environment: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-kerberos-with-openldap-backend When installing that, I get the following in the output: Setting up krb5-kdc (1.19.2-2) ... Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/krb5-kdc.service → /lib/systemd/system/krb5-kdc.service. Could not execute systemctl: at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 142. I do get the prompts for the realm, kdc, and admin server hostnames, and they are reflected in /etc/krb5.conf. If I then run the following: dpkg-reconfigure krb5-kdc I am prompted for whether I want the package to create the Kerberos KDC configuration automatically, and when I say yes, it then repeats the following error: Could not execute systemctl: at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 142. I cannot find any further debug in the syslog or anything to indicate what the root cause is; the list of packages here are all installed together on a separate development server where I experimented with the configuration I will be deploying here in production so I don't think it's incompatible packages in the install list, but I am open to feedback on that.
