If you could imagine how disappointed I was when the build falied just
because of that! And all this just because you decided to save one line in
the spec file.

Now we have different brands of rpm and incompatible source packages with
all the hassle that is so easy to avoid.

The same applies here. All I want is just a recent version of heimdal in a
packaged form - nothing fancy.

I'm not very good in Polish, but I'm afraid that it applies to our
discussion :-)
