New question #696006 on krb5 in Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+question/696006

I am trying to automate the install of FreeIPA client on Ubuntu LTS 20.04 with Chef.  

The "krb5-config" package is unfortunately forcing a prompt by opening a menu dialog which is preventing me from a non-interactive installation via Chef (or any other scripted installation method).

Is there some way I can disable this behavior so that I am not prompted for kerberos values during the install of the package?

In a "Configuring Kerberos Authentication" menu, I am asked for:
    "Default Kerberos version 5 realm:" (defaulted to VAGRANTUP.COM)
    "Kerberos servers for your realm:" (default is empty)
    "Administrative server for your Kerberos realm:" (default is empty)

Please help with this :D
