Problem:
when running yum -y install katello I get:

Expected outcome:

Foreman and Proxy versions:

• foreman 1.16
• katello 3.5

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Other relevant data:
[e.g. logs from Foreman and/or the Proxy, modified templates, commands issued, etc]

workaround:
yum downgrade krb5-libs-1.15.1-8.el7

Rubygem-rkerberos currently not installable on EL7.5

As some of you might have noticed, rubygem-rkerberos is currently not installable on EL 7.5, as it depends on an older libkadm5clnt_mit.so.8 that is no longer part of EL 7.5.

Did you do a yum update? This upgrades all packages to rhel 7.5 so the same issue occurs.
I just tested this on a fresh install of rhel 7.4 without doing a yum update and this issue was not present.
