Background on this test failure. The reason that the Heimdal 7.5.0 tests began to fail after they previously succeeded is because the failing test relies upon an X.509 certificate that expired on March 4 2019.
Then post 7.5.0 support was added to support OpenSSL 1.1 which included the ability to handle certificates with expiration dates post 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 UTC. Heimdal also updated the test suite certificates to last 500 years. These certificates work fine on platforms with 64-bit time_t but on platforms such as Debian Linux i386 where time_t is 32-bit, the tests will fail. There has been no code change to Heimdal and there is no intention to replace the use of time_t within Heimdal for a Heimdal specific time integer type within the Heimdal 7.x series. Making such a change would alter not only APIs but ABIs. Its unclear when or if we could make such a change for the same reasons that Debian cannot alter the size of time_t on i386.
