$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure krb5-kdc
[interactive configuration prompts]
debconf: warning: possible database corruption. Will attempt to repair
by adding back missing question krb5-kdc/debconf.

So reconfiguring krb5-kdc would have and did fix it. I wonder if my
diet-upgrade broke at some point and I didn't notice?

As I recall, I was following this guide:

https://www.linode.com/docs/security/upgrading/upgrade-to-debian-8-jessie

And my upgrade failed first during this install:

sudo apt-get install apt dpkg aptitude

I *think* that I first had krb5-admin-server break during *that*
install; but maybe I'm misremembering, and I lost an ssh session or
something.

I also *thought* that I had done this:

dpkg-reconfigure debconf
for pkg in $(dpkg-query --show | awk '{print $1}'); do echo ; echo
"--> $pkg" ; echo ; dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive
--priority=critical $pkg < /dev/null ; done

but thinking about it more now, there's no way I c/p'd that command
into my terminal without parsing it thoroughly, and it doesn't seem
familiar to me now.
