Actually, it will be an issue if there are any missing symbols, or if
the functions provided by libcom_err.so.2 take a different number of
arguments, or arguments in a different order, or arguments which are
pointers to different sized structures.
When so versions change, believe that the changes are incompatible, even
if symbols actually resolve. Somewhere in there is a SEGV waiting to
happen.

Probably because you aren't doing any Kerberos authentication, so the
functions in the library are never used.
