Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1330431
Description of problem:
The current version of rubygem-rkerberos requires libkadm5clnt_mit.so.8. This is quite unfortunate as functions provided by this lib are not considered stable by upstream [1] and it may change with krb5 rebase. If it changes (what happened with RHEL-7.2 and now with RHEL-7.3), krb5 has no other option than pretending that it is still providing the old version [2]. This is a very bad practice, IMHO.

It looks like our layered product do not use the kadm5 functions provided by this gem [3], so I think this could be removed from this package and provided as an extra package (ideally distributed in extras repository as we can not guarantee the stability) to still provide this functionality to potential third party consumers.
