Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

It looks as if you are using packages from proposed and have run into a situation where packages are not in sync. Packages in yakkety-proposed that are not in yakkety are *known to be broken* - otherwise they would migrate to the release pocket within a few hours. We appreciate you helping out in testing, but I suggest that you test by using yakkety only - using the proposed pocket provides no real benefit to developers.

I am marking this a duplicate of another heimdal bug where the user was using proposed as well. If you disagree please feel free to comment adding details as to why you believe this is not the case.

Thanks again
