GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 704913
gnome-control-center-3.8.4.1 not compatible with heimdal kerberos
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:27:35 UTC
As reported downstream: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478194 It fails to build because: - krb5.h is not under a subdir in heimdal - krb5_get_init_creds_opt_set_out_ccache cannot be used with heimdal This looks similar to: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615290 And also PLD linux is using a patch to checking for krb5_get_init_creds_opt_set_out_ccache http://git.pld-linux.org/gitweb.cgi?p=packages/gnome-control-center.git;a=blob;f=krb5.patch;h=c29dcebc40b181562017f49b76e6d32a2f6e29af;hb=HEAD Thanks
Created attachment 308848 [details] [review] user-accounts: Be compatible with Heimdal krb5
Stef, Ondrej, could you please review and apply this?
This just conditionally comments out code. The feature would break due to the missing function call. I'm not a big fan of having slightly different multiple dependencies ... optionally compiled against ... doing slightly different things. Doing something like that requires serious and long term investment from the interested party. Just #ifdefing away code that doesn't compile is a bad start.
Review of attachment 308848 [details] [review]: At a very minumum this needs work. Up to Bastien to reject if he doesn't want to have combinatorial explosion in g-c-c deps.
Any updates on this? Thanks :)
Sorry, no, I don't have time to work on this now.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
