So, according to the build log, the make check failed because it could
not contact a KDC on the local system. The krb5 build is more sensitive
to the environment on which it is built thanks to 1017763. In
particular, I believe it will require that getaddrinfo(gethostname())
work, an that address is a valid address for contacting the local host.
It will also require that a service can bind to that address and be
contacted from within the build. In addition, it requires various
capabilities related to access to the keyring; I find that debspawn's
containers do not have sufficient capabilities to run make check.
It appears all these attributes are satisfied by the build hosts.
So, unless I'm violating some written policy somewhere, my claim is that
this is all good.
That said, I realize this is an area where things are underspecified,
and I'd be happy to engage with debian-policy or the TC to further
refine what builds are allowed to do if you think that something krb5 is
doing is not reasonable.
I suspect this is a case where your build environment does not mirror
the buildds enough for the tests to succeed, but I'm leaving the bug
open for your input.
