AFAIK, Poky doesn't have a krb5 recipe of it's own.

Before you dig into the krb5 package, why are you adding krb5 support to your
device?  Is there a specific reason or did it just show up as a dependency for
something?  (Many times on the desktop, krb5 is provided by default and gets
linked into all sorts of things..  but in an embedded environment it's rarely
used as there is no reason to coordinate with a kerberos server on user
identity.  If you decide kerberos support is NOT needed, figure out where the
krb5 dependency is coming from and figure out if you can remove it from the
package and/or recipe.)

(But if you do need krb5...) If you import it from OpenEmbedded, something is
either wrong with the krb5 recipe -- not populating the base "krb5" package --
or something is wrong with the software that is requiring krb5.

The first thing to do is look at the krb5 package and see if any of the software
it has built belongs in a base krb5 package and isn't being properly
installed.... fix the do_install rule to install the missing components...

if there is no software to install into a krb5 package -- then it appears to me
whatever is attempting to require the run-time dependency of "krb5" is broken.
You should find the recipe that has the RDEPENDS and remove it -- or change the
dependency to something more appropriate such a the krb5-libs.  (Note:  most of
the time there is no reason to manually state a RDEPENDS on a -libs package,
because the system figured out run-time library dependencies automatically --
only library usages where you can't automatically detect things need RDEPENDS,
this is usually the case when things are dlopened.)
