Hold. Can you look at the RPM packages already downloaded in /var/cache/yum
and do "rpm -qip packagename.rpm" on them? If so, then the problem is one of
your RPM database. I suspect it isn't, that the Kerberos library is messed
up.

I doubt it will work in this case, but "rpm --rebuilddb" is useful for
rebuilding a corrupted RPM database.

Do you have a parallel installation of Fedora Core 4 you can play with? And
is it possible that one of the RPM packages which has previously been
downloaded to /var/cache/yum has a name or contents related to Kerberos? If
so, it should be possible to use "rpm2cpio" and "cpio" to extract its
contents and force an installation of it.
