I guess I would prefer ubuntu as a baseline, if only for the reason that

Then again, I dont have enough karma yet to vote on this...

Hi Mario,
I tend to agree with building gnu packages against gnu packages whenever
possible/feasible. The two versions of Kerberos should be compat (afaik)
but maybe some basic sanity checks are in order?
If you grab a token via sun krb5, can it be used with the debian package
krb5 implementation? I tried to do this quickly by grabbing a token via
sun krb5 and then installed the krb5-user (debian) package. (I needed to
manually add diversions to do this.) Running klist after the install
yielded a strange error:
klist: Improper format of Kerberos configuration file while initializing
krb5
Interestingly, the config file for the sun krb5 implementation is
/etc/krb5/krb5.conf while the debian package seems to use
/etc/krb5.conf. It's likely that this one (critical) difference alone
could lead to confusion if just the libs are installed.
I think the krb5 debian package needs a little attention so that it uses
the same config file path. I quickly made a symlink and verified that
the debian klist works with the token acquired from sun kinit:
# cd /etc/
# mv krb5.conf krb5.conf-
# ln -s /etc/krb5/krb5.conf
indeed it seemed to work.
All of this being said, I vote to build against the debian package in
general. Unless there are any dissenting opinions I would say just go
for it.
Cheers,
-Tim
