create-update asks for password (?) and then "authentication failed"

See original GitHub issue

I just released cockpit-ostree 178 with packit, creating this koji build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=36198029

Now I wanted to release it:

❱❱❱ PYTHONPATH=~/tmp/packit/ python3 -m packit.cli.packit_base create-update --dist-git-branch f30
Koji builds for package cockpit-ostree and koji tag f30-updates-candidate:
 - cockpit-ostree-178-1.fc30
Password:

Hmm, what password? I already have a kerberos token:

❱❱❱ klist
Ticket cache: KEYRING:persistent:1000:1000
Default principal: cockpit@FEDORAPROJECT.ORG
[...]

So I entered my Fedora password again, then:

ERROR    Authentication failed
Unexpected exception occurred,
please fill an issue here:
https://github.com/packit-service/packit/issues

Once again with --debug:

That’s weird, why now username in addition? I enter my Fedora credentials again, then

For doing automated releases, asking for a password interactively isn’t acceptable.
