Public bug reported:

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 22.04.01 LTS.  After installing
the server and running all updates, I run the following command:

apt -y install slapd ldap-utils schema2ldif sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules-
gssapi-mit krb5-kdc-ldap krb5-admin-server krb5-kdc

This will be installing krb5-kdc 1.19.2-2.

This is in preparation for setting up an OpenLDAP server, a Kerberos
server with an LDAP backend, and saslauthd for pass-through
authentication.  krb5-kdc was auto-selected when running the steps in
the guide here in my development environment:
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-kerberos-with-openldap-backend
When installing that, I get the following in the output:

Setting up krb5-kdc (1.19.2-2) ...
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/krb5-kdc.service → /lib/systemd/system/krb5-kdc.service.
Could not execute systemctl:  at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 142.

I do get the prompts for the realm, kdc, and admin server hostnames, and
they are reflected in /etc/krb5.conf.  If I then run the following:

dpkg-reconfigure krb5-kdc

I am prompted for whether I want the package to create the Kerberos KDC
configuration automatically, and when I say yes, it then repeats the
following error:

Could not execute systemctl:  at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 142.

I cannot find any further debug in the syslog or anything to indicate
what the root cause is; the list of packages here are all installed
together on a separate development server where I experimented with the
configuration I will be deploying here in production so I don't think
it's incompatible packages in the install list, but I am open to
feedback on that.
