** Description changed:

  tracking bug
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adsys/+bug/2078245
  
  [ Impact ]
  
  Even if the krb5 ticket is discoverable, the discovery fails (but
  actually succeeded) So we cannot retrieve the policies or do any action
  with the controller.
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
  This is not something that can be easily reproduced in a real
  environment, so the best approach to reproduce this issue is:
  
- 1. Get adsys codebase before the fix. You can do this by getting the 
available version in the archive with `apt source adsys`.
- 2. Run the TestTicketPath test located in internal/ad/krb5_test.go as many 
times as needed to get the failure (using `go test -run TestTicketPatch -count 
X` inside the mentioned directory runs the test X times).

+   apt source adsys
+ 2. Run the TestTicketPath test located in internal/ad/krb5_test.go as many 
times as needed to get the failure. To run the test, open a terminal and, 
inside the mentioned directory, runs the test X times with the command:
+   go test -run TestTicketPatch -count X
  3. The test can fail due to krb5_init_context changing the errno without 
returning any error.
+ 
+ Without the patched version the test will fail after a number of runs.
+ With the patch, it will not fail.
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  We now reset errno to 0, because krb5_init_context() can alter it,  even
  if it succeeds. So the discovery always returns success when it
  succeeds.
  
  Worst case would be that discovery failed but errno is set to 0 but this
  is handled earlier in the code.
