I can't spot what initially failed for you, but since you are now in a bad state I'd recommend to follow usual cleanup howtos as in [1] just adapted to the packages you are facing issues with.

That seem to be overall:
- libgssapi-krb5-2
- libkrb5-3
- libkrb5support0

Refreshing those should help, please report back if the problem persists.
