build file

gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.8.4.1 fails with:

fatal error: krb5/krb5.h: No such file or directory

/usr/include/kb5.h is there.

It is provided by app-crypt/heimdal which has replaced kerberos.

Build file is included.

[Comment 1 Harris Landgarten 2013-07-26 02:34:34 UTC]

I worked around the krb5.h problem with ln -sf /usr/include/krb5.h /usr/include/krb5/krb5.h

The build still fails with:

frob_account_dialog-um-realm-manager.o: In function `kinit_thread_func':
um-realm-manager.c:(.text+0x1448): undefined reference to `krb5_get_init_creds_opt_set_out_ccache'

Seems we are incompatible with heimdal

I thought the changelog said broken kerberos with disabled.

build file 2 after krb5.h problem work around

I cannot reproduce with mit-krb5 provider, that also provides both:
/usr/include/krb5.h
/usr/include/krb5/krb5.h

Looks like heimdal handle its headers in a different way (like bug 389347)

[Comment 4 Harris Landgarten 2013-07-26 12:42:54 UTC]

As I remember, the switch to heimdal was forced by a dependency during beta testing. I just uninstalled it and virtual/krb5 pulled mit-krb5 back it. We build and install fine with that.

The bug is heimdal specific. Either you should accommodate it or block it

[Comment 5 Cănărău Constantin 2013-07-28 07:00:53 UTC]

For some of us heimdal is pushed by net-fs/samba-4*, so I rather prefer to see this bug fixed as mask heimdal it's not an option here.

Thank you!

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2013-09-08 08:22:11 UTC]

This is not strictly a regression since upstream only supports mit-krb5 for a long time and that was the cause if we making the kerberos support optional downstream

[Comment 7 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2013-09-08 09:55:34 UTC]

Also, g-c-c is properly depending on kerberos alone, just like samba is depending on heimdal alone since its not compatible with the other implementation.

The problem is that both heimdal and kerberos seems to be conflicting implementations, not dropin replacements for one another.

Reading samba-3.6.18.ebuild looks like it's compatible with both

Fails to build with heimdal... so does everything else.
