Comment:

 I agree, that's wrong. And yet the [https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/pull/19497/checks checks of the PR that made this change] succeeded.
 I fixed the problem locally and did a new build and diffed the contents
 with the previous build and there was no difference (aside from expected
 differences in all binary files).
 [https://github.com/krb5/krb5/blob/0ceab6c363e65fb21d3312a663f2b9b569ecc415/src/configure.ac#L1160-L1175
 Reading configure.ac], it says python is used by some of the tests but the
 Portfile doesn't even enable the test suite. I will see if I can remove
 the python dependency without upsetting the configure script too much.

 I will want to contact the developers to report that the configure script
 should not allow a wrong python value, if I can determine how to do so.
