Bug#622090: libauthen-krb5-perl: please use krb5-config in Makefile.PL instead of hard-coding checks

[Steve Langasek]

Package: libauthen-krb5-perl
Version: 1.9-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: vorlon at debian.org
Usertags: multiarch

Hi folks,

Switching krb5 to multiarch will cause libauthen-krb5-perl to begin to fail
to build, because it has hard-coded checks for library paths on the
filesystem.  Rather than walking the filesystem, it would be much better if
it could use an interface like krb5-config to query the necessary library
options.

A patch to do this has now been pushed to Ubuntu.  Please see the attached
patch.

I think krb5-config is now ubiquitous enough that this can be used reliably
(and, therefore, pushed upstream as well).  Please let me know if I'm
mistaken.
