"Two copies of DES library" change breaks K5 compat w/Cygnus K4

From: John Gilmore <gnu@cygnus.com>

The KDC will no longer link, because including
/usr/kerberos/lib/libkrb.a also requires including
/usr/kerberos/lib/libdes.a, which contains a routine for getting the
time-of-day (because it was needed both in libdes for generating
random keys, and in libkrb for timing).

The new K5 Makefiles bring in /usr/kerberos/lib/libkrb.a but
substitute libdes425.a for libdes.a.

I suggest reverting the change.
