Actually:

# ls -lodT /tmp/jail-*/usr/lib*/libkadm5clnt.so
lr--r--r--  1 root wheel uarch 19 Oct 23 20:55:35 2025 /tmp/jail-distset/usr/lib/libkadm5clnt.so -> libkadm5clnt_mit.so
lr--r--r--  1 root wheel uarch 19 Oct 23 21:07:35 2025 /tmp/jail-distset/usr/lib32/libkadm5clnt.so -> libkadm5clnt_mit.so

So: deliberately present. So, most likely they were missing in
/tmp/jail-pkgbase/ .



I'll note that I've no clue what to make of the
various

/tmp/jail-distset/usr/share/nls/*/

that are unique to /tmp/jail-distset/ ( and, so, were
missing in /tmp/jail-pkgbase/ ).
