I can reproduce this here too.

Comment 2 Petr Lautrbach 2013-01-15 16:18:53 UTC
please downgrade and use cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-36.fc18. I unpushed cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.25-2 from Fedora 18 due to abi/api breakage.

This will be fixed in Rawhide soon with rebase to cyrus-sasl-2.1.26.

Comment 3 Pierguido Lambri 2013-01-16 09:09:11 UTC
Downgrading to cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-36.fc18 is not possible because it conflict with the already installed packages.
I've remove cyrus-sasl, but now I'm in the situation were I cannot install or downgrade it:

# yum install cyrus-sasl --exclude cyrus-sasl-lib.i686
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Comment 4 Petr Lautrbach 2013-01-16 09:17:17 UTC
I meant downgrade all cyrus-sasl-* subpackages:

# yum downgrade $( rpm -qa cyrus-sasl\* | sed 's/-[^-]*-[^-]*$//' )

Comment 5 Pierguido Lambri 2013-01-16 09:46:08 UTC
Oh right! I checked cyrus-sasl-lib but not gssapi and md5. My fault.

Thank you, now everything works.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 19:38:45 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 7 Petr Lautrbach 2013-05-29 16:00:01 UTC
cyrus-sasl-2.1.25-2.fc18 was unpushed from Fedora releases.
