Description Thomas Kurschel 2025-12-15 09:32:03 UTC 
If you do


pkg install -r FreeBSD-ports py311-kerberos
python3 -c "import kerberos; print('kerberos ist installiert')"


You get


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/kerberos.cpython-311.so: Undefined symbol "krb5_xfree"


Previously, you need to install krb5 Port as well


pkg install krb5


But this doesn't work anymore, probably because of replacing Heimdahl with MIT kerberos in base.

In the end, this makes e.g. winrm for Ansible unusable.

Cy, I bet this is again a missing symbol. I am genuinly confused why you have chosen to use a non-MIT KErberos symbol map in base. This isn't real MIT Kerberos.

You are right, this is really confusing.

Actually, building the port with GSSAPI_MIT set works fine.
