It seems clear that the #745332 fix was incorrect. You can see in the build logs GSSAPI is not enabled since krb5-config isn't found:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gsasl&arch=amd64&ver=1.8.0-6&stamp=1412611018 On considering solutions, I don't like the unpredictability in depending on libkrb5-dev|libheimdal-dev. The GSSAPI library used by the binary libgsasl package in Debian will depend on whether the buildds have Heimdal or MIT installed when you built the package. Coping with different GSS libraries on different architecture sounds like a recipe for disaster. For Jessie, gsasl should be built against the same Kerberos library on all architectures, unless there is a reason not to -- and I don't know of a reason. MIT is picked arbitrarily here. Cc'ing Jelmer (who reported 745332) and Andreas (who uploaded it) -- any comments? Jelmer, what prompted your initial report? The way I see it, it is important (for us) that you buildds don't have multiple Kerberos development packages installed when they build gsasl. So the old way was the preferred way, causing heimdal-dev to be removed and libkrb5-dev to be pulled in. People with other preferences who build their own packages can surely modify the gsasl package to their liking. I've pushed a fix in git and attmpted to upload to experimental, so you can test the new packages. /Simon
