Actually, I don't know about the packaging system of SuSE but there was 
a change in the ticket size so if you're running some sort of odd 
combination (old kaserver new client or the other way around, I don't 
remember exactly) you will get that error.

That package configuration isn't looking pretty healthy to me, but 
that's just me.
