The upstream code is broken.

Bug description:
The code that checks the keytab file is not handling the output of the 
krb5_kt_get_name function call properly. The developer expected only the file 
name in the output as it is with the krb5_cc_get_name function. However the 
output of this function is "<prefix>:<name of the key table>" hence the next 
function call which checks that the file is accessible with the given UID and 
GID fails miserably.

I created a patch and with it everything works as expected. The package
is updated on my PPA and will be going under heavy test soon.

Next task is to push the fix upstream.
