Package: krb4
Version: 1.1-11-10
Severity: normal
Tags: sid
When I tried to build krb4 with libc6 2.3.1-8 on i386,
its configure script did not find h_errno, and this caused
compilation to fail later when krb4 tried to define h_errno on
its own and clashed with the h_errno macro. The same happened
with libc6.1 2.3.1-8 on alpha.
The error in config.log:
| configure:22743: checking for h_errno
| configure:22763: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -g conftest.c -lresolv -lresolv
>&5

The error in the build log:

I then downgraded to libc6 2.3.1-5, and the build succeeded.

The kerberos4 packages have been removed from Debian unstable.
According to http://bugs.debian.org/358480
Mikael> I'm not maintaining it and I think that all kerberos4
Mikael> support should be removed from debian because it's
Mikael> unsecure and the kerberos4kth packages should be removed
Mikael> from future versions of debian. If you have any discussion
Mikael> with the mit krb maintainer you can let him know my point
Mikael> of view and do anything you want with the kerberos4kth
Mikael> package you want.
It also is obsolete and has release critical bugs.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
