up2date: ImportError: /lib/libssl.so.4: undefined symbol: krb5_cc_get_principal

After upgrading to RedHat Fedora Core 3, I run into the following
problem with up2date after filling in the 'su' password prompt:

I tried the approach of removing the krb lib entry from /etc/ld.so.conf:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg00831.html

but still get this error.  I also tried upgrading 'up2date' to
up2date-4.3.69-1, the latest version that I could find.

Any ideas?  Thanks!
