Hi,
the logs of this and the two other bugs are from the same case - but I fail to see anything in them giving me a hint what was going on.

I just checked but I can install the packages without any issue in my yakkety system.

I'd have to ask you to share more on your configuration/setup to reproduce the issue.

If you have no custom/complex setup for heimdal I'd recommend as a workadound to remove --purge the heimdal packages and see if they would reinstall cleanly. But that depends on what your setup around heimdal really is.

The problem is indicated in the ErrorMessage, the reporter is using a French version so that's what the logs are in:
ErrorMessage: le paquet libhcrypto4-heimdal:amd64 1.7~git20160703+dfsg-1 ne peut pas être configuré parce que la version de libhcrypto4-heimdal:i386 est différente (1.7~git20150920+dfsg-4ubuntu1)

Translation:
ErrorMessage: package libhcrypto4-heimdal:amd64 1.7~git20160703+dfsg-1 cannot be configured because libhcrypto4-heimdal:i386 is at a different verison (1.7~git20150920+dfsg-4ubuntu1)

The problem is the i386 packages for heimdal 1.7~git20160703+dfsg-1 in yakkety-proposed failed to build, which creates a version conflict if you have both the i386 and amd64 packages and try to upgrade to the version in yakkety-proposed.

A workaround is to uninstall the i386 packages, which should let the amd64 package upgrade to the version in proposed, but that won't help anyone who for whatever reason needs both the i386 and amd64 packages because of some other dependency. The version in proposed also failed to build for armh64 and powerpc, so the larger problem is that this version isn't available on users with i386, armh64 or powerpc distributions.
