Thanks for the tip Ryan!
FYI, bug 828237 is actually fixed in Oneiric, I didn't realize that there was a patch to do just that included. Not sure if its SRU'able to lucid, but the workaround of sleeping for 1 second after it starts is probably the best workaround at present. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to krb5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652433 Title: Init script dependency error: krb5-kdc starts before slapd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/652433/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
