--- Comment #1 from Brenton Leanhardt <bleanhar@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
>From the looks of the changelog this is a deprecated package.  While it's not
listed formally on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Deprecated_packages you can
see from
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/python-urllib2_kerberos that
the status is deprecated and that it's orphaned in fedora-devel.  In many cases
this is for good reason.  If a packages isn't being maintained anymore it's not
appropriate for Fedora.

What you'll need to do from here is contact the previous package maintainers
and find out why it's in this state.  You should also attempt to contact the
upstream maintainer.

Just to be clear, in the case where upstream is unresponsive you need to make
sure you are willing to maintain not only the packaging but also the library
itself (ie, fixing critical bugs).  Any evidence of your qualifications for
doing this would go a long way to encouraging the Fedora community to reinstate
this package.  For more information see:
