Thanks for the report; this is quite clearly a bug in the maintainer script. I will think a bit about whether it is better to leave the akeyconvert invocation in openafs-fileserver and make it conditional on akeyconvert's presence, add the openafs-krb5 dependency, or move the call to the openafs-krb5 maintainer script. Adding the hard dependency would break a property that the original packaging split had as a strong requirement, though the incentive to have that requirement is probably much smaller now that it was originally. -Ben
