[Bug 462059] Re: libkrb53 package required instead of libkrb5-3 in Karmic

[Evan Broder]

The transition wasn't actually libkrb53 -> libkrb5-3. The old libkrb53
package was split up into several other packages (libkrb5-3 for libkrb5
itself, but also libgssapi-krb5-2, libk5crypto3, and libkrb5support0).

As a temporary fix, you can use equivs to generate a fake transitional
libkrb53 package. Run equivs on a file with these contents:

  Package: libkrb53
  Version: 1.6.dfsg.2+fake1
  Depends: libkrb5-3, libgssapi-krb5-2, libk5crypto3, libkrb5support0

then install the resulting .deb.

In the longer term, the libkrb53 dependency in the affected packages was
automatically generated at build-time based on what libraries the
binaries in the packages linked against. To fix the bug, it should be
sufficient to just rebuild the packages with no changes.

The libkrb53 package was intentionally removed fairly early in the
Karmic development process, and there was a fairly lengthy process to
make sure all the affected packages were rebuilt; I'm not sure why this
one got overlooked.

In any case, here's a patch that will trigger that rebuild. I've
uploaded a test build to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive
/ubuntu-tests), but it's pretty backed up right now so it might take a
while to finish.
