Trouble using kerberos with new sarama version using new asn1 lib

[TheMacies]

Versions

Sarama	Kafka	Go
1.24	2.0.1	1.13

Configuration

  config := sarama.NewConfig()
    config.Version = sarama.V2_0_0_0

    config.Net.SASL.Enable = true
    config.Net.SASL.Mechanism = sarama.SASLTypeGSSAPI

    config.Net.SASL.GSSAPI = sarama.GSSAPIConfig{
      AuthType: sarama.KRB5_USER_AUTH, 
      Realm: "<realm>",
      ServiceName: "kafka",
      Username: "<username>",
      Password: "<password>",
      KerberosConfigPath: "/etc/krb5.conf",
    }

Logs

Problem Description

We updated sarama library to handle Go 1.13 ( from version 1.23.0 to 1.24.0 ) and it seems that new version of Sarama lib breaks kerberos communication. I looked through changes in Sarama code and verified that this change breaks it. I compiled the service with the old (forked) asn1 lib and now it works fine.

Is there really no reason to use the old lib ?

Issues mentioned in the previously used library regarding asn1 are still 'open'.
