Bug Description

krb5-config.config seams to be missing a variable as there is no way to stop a dialog box from poping up in my script for installing Kerberos 5. I am using Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS

I get error message:Use of uninitialized value $admin in string eq at /var/lib/dpkg/info/krb5-config.config line 171, <STDIN> line 20.

Then I get dialog box titled: "Configuring krb5-admin-server"

Stating:
Setting up a Kerberos Realm

This package contains the administrative tools required to run the Kerberos master server. However, installing this package does not automatically set up a Kerberos realm. This can be done later by running the "krb5_newrealm" command.
Please also read the /usr/share/doc/krb5-kdc/README.KDC file and the administration guide found in the krb5-doc package.
                                                       <Ok>

Then I get error when it setting up:

Setting up krb5-config (2.3) ...
Use of uninitialized value $admin in string eq at /var/lib/dpkg/info/krb5-config.config line 171, <STDIN> line 19.

I have in my script the following setting:
#Kerberos 5 Settings.
echo -e "krb5-config krb5-config/kerberos_servers string $fqdn" | debconf-set-selections
echo -e "krb5-config krb5-config/default_realm string $Realm" | debconf-set-selections
echo -e "heimdal-kdc heimdal/realm string $Realm" | debconf-set-selections
echo -e "krb5-config krb5-config/admin_server string $fqdn" | debconf-set-selections
echo -e "krb5-config krb5-config/dns_for_default boolean true" | debconf-set-selections
echo -e "krb5-config krb5-config/add_servers boolean true" | debconf-set-selections

I found all these debconf-set-selections, but changing any other setting do not stop the dialog box from coming up.

ran debconf-get-selections | grep krb5-config

krb5-config krb5-config/read_conf boolean true
krb5-config krb5-config/default_realm string TEETER.HOME
krb5-config krb5-config/add_servers boolean true
krb5-config krb5-config/admin_server string
krb5-config krb5-config/kerberos_servers string
krb5-config krb5-config/dns_for_default boolean true
krb5-config krb5-config/add_servers_realm string TEETER.HOME

I could work around by forcing noninteractive, but shouldn't there be a way to trun off the dialog box?
