openssh uses kerberos5 if it is installed but doesn't declare a dependency

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

openssh fails to build when kerberos5 is installed, but builds fine when kerberos5 is not installed. This was ​reported on the mailing list and I can confirm it.

openssh should not be attempting to use kerberos5 without declaring a dependency on it.

It doesn't fail to build now anyway.

Looks like this applies to heimdal as well.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It seems to still fail to build; see duplicates #30912, #31446, #32846.

A temporary fix is ...

1. port -f uninstall kerberos5
2. port install openssh
3. port install kerberos5

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

If you're going to want kerberos5 again afterward, a simpler workaround is to just deactivate kerberos5 instead of completely uninstalling it.

sudo port -f deactivate kerberos5
sudo port clean openssh
sudo port install openssh
sudo port activate kerberos5

OK - I had decided to mess around with the openssh portfile due to one on my customisation projects and found this :

depends_run	port:xauth                                     <----- xauth dependency but not kerberoth5

# Specified -fno-builtin because GCC 3.3 has log() as a builtin
# (from math.h) while OpenSSH has its own log() function
# -- from fink.
configure.cppflags-append "-fno-builtin"
configure.args --with-ssl-dir=${prefix} --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc/ssh \
    --with-privsep-path=${prefix}/var/empty --with-md5-passwords \
    --with-pid-dir=${prefix}/var/run --with-tcp-wrappers \
    --with-pam --disable-suid-ssh --with-random=/dev/urandom \
    --mandir=${prefix}/share/man --with-zlib=${prefix} \
    --with-kerberos5=/usr --with-xauth=${prefix}/bin/xauth \   <------ UPPPS
    --with-libedit

So, openssh is dependent on kerberos5 - it just tries to get it from the one Apple has supplied.
It seems like we are mixing and matching here :

1. xauth is from macports
   
2. kerberos5 is from Apple
   

I do think that's against policy ??? ;)

However, I made some changes to the openssh portfile, and it now compiles correctly.

pathc to add macports kerberos5 dependency

It's a lib dependency, not a run dependency.
