This is one of our worst error messages (see
https://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=8247 ).

From experience, this probably means you have a single-DES enctype
listed in supported_enctypes and are using release 1.18.  (In 1.17 or
previous the enctype would be recognized; in 1.19 or later the library
would ignore the enctype rather than failing out.)  Remove the
single-DES enctype and kadmind should start working again.
