app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.13.2-r2 introduced KADMIND_OPTS and passes it to /usr/sbin/kadmind in the updated init.d script. If KADMIND_OPTS is blank an empty "" is passed to /usr/sbin/kadmind, which it reports as an error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.13.2-r2 2. /etc/init.d/mit-krb5kadmind restart Actual Results: * Starting MIT Kerberos 5 Admin daemon ... * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/kadmind' * Error starting MIT Kerberos 5 Admin daemon [ !! ] * ERROR: mit-krb5kadmind failed to start Expected Results: * Stopping MIT Kerberos 5 Admin daemon ... [ ok ] * Starting MIT Kerberos 5 Admin daemon ... [ ok ] Simple strace displaying the difference: With the empty "": strace -e trace=process /usr/sbin/kadmind "" execve("/usr/sbin/kadmind", ["/usr/sbin/kadmind", ""], [/* 48 vars */]) = 0 arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x7f2839144740) = 0 Usage: kadmind [-x db_args]* [-r realm] [-m] [-nofork] [-port port-number] [-proponly] [-p path-to-kdb5_util] [-F dump-file] [-K path-to-kprop] [-P pid_file] where, [-x db_args]* - any number of database specific arguments. Look at each database documentation for supported arguments exit_group(1) = ? +++ exited with 1 +++ Without the empty "": strace -e trace=process /usr/sbin/kadmind execve("/usr/sbin/kadmind", ["/usr/sbin/kadmind"], [/* 48 vars */]) = 0 arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x7fef4363e740) = 0 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7fef4363ea10) = 3247 exit_group(0) = ? +++ exited with 0 +++ Simple hack/fix is to remove the quotation marks around the variable in the init.d script.

Removing the quotes in the init.d file fixes the problem. -start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec ${exec} -- "${KADMIND_OPTS}" 1>&2 +start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec ${exec} -- ${KADMIND_OPTS} 1>&2
Fixed in the tree. Thanks for the report.
