>Description:

	krb5-1.6.3_4 builds both libraries and utilities.  Among the
	libraries included in the port is a version of the MIT Common
	Error library, libcom_err.  FreeBSD also includes this library
	as a part of the base system.  It is important that the MIT
	Kerberos utilities, and other applications using Kerberos,
	link against the correct version of libcom_err.  If they do
	not, or if they link against both com_err libraries, error
	messages will not be displayed correctly.

>How-To-Repeat:

	install krb5-1.6.3_4.

Note how all of the Kerberos libraries are linked against the correct
version of libcom_err.so (the one installed in /usr/local/lib), but
kadmin itself links against the wrong one.

>Fix:

	Link the Kerberos utilities against the correct library.  By
	preference, also fix the lack of version numbering.  (I think
	this may be "intentional" on the part of the Kerberos
	developers as a result of someone not understanding how
	shared library versioning is supposed to work.)

	Workaround: remove /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.
