We had the same or a similar problem in early December on
redhat-list. I suspect it's redhat-config-packages that gets the
dependencies wrong based on the "comps" and "hdlist" files when
updates are installed. The actual dependency of the package is just
krb5-libs. But redhat-config-packages knows that the distribution
contains krb5-1.2.5-6, and hence it wants exactly that package. It
doesn't know about the update package krb5-1.2.5-7.

My theory might be wrong, though. I haven't look into this further.
