Source: krb5
Source-version: 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-4

So, the Kerberos libraries in unstable do not support Kerberos 4.
This is known and documented in their news.debian file among other
places.

There's also a bit of a library rename/transition going on.  The new
libraries replace, but do not conflict with the old libraries.  Yes,
this creates certain opportunities for badness, but all the other
options had down sides as well and that's what I came up with after
the debian-devel discussion.

I'm guessing what has happened here is that you managed to install
libkrb5-3 out of unstable (a new package) probably because libgtk or
cups or kdelibs or ghostscript pulled it in.  (Most of those are bogus
dependencies, but out of my control).

That version of the library returns krb4 not supported when you call the 
krb524init APIs.

You have two options.  You can live without krb4 (what I'm doing) or
you can follow the downgrade instructions in
/usr/share/doc/libkrb5-3/NEWS.Debian.gz.
