Like Helge said, the latest package is still 1.4.1-4. If Sam is not the maintainer for the Ubuntu package (even though the Ubuntu repository lists him as such), we should find a new maintainer and get this problem solved.
I built all the OpenAFS packages from the Debian repository, as suggested by JDahl on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1701049#post1701049. Using that method, everything works on Ubuntu 6.10 2.6.17-10-generic. Here are details from his post - hopefully they'll help until the right people (whoever they may be) can get their act together: 1) Make a directory "openafs" and download the packages to it from: $ mkdir openafs; cd openafs $ wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/ma....2.orig.tar.gz $ wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/ma....4.2-2.diff.gz 2) Unpack and patch $ tar xzvf openafs_1.4.2.orig.tar.gz $ zcat openafs_1.4.2-2.diff.gz | patch -p0 3) Install necessary dependencies $ sudo apt-get build-dep openafs-client $ sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot 4) Build the Debian packages (takes a long time) $ cd openafs-1.4.2 $ chmod u+x debian/rules $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot Compilation may fail if you don't have all dependencies installed. Just install the missing packages and rebuild. 5) Install the packages $ sudo dpkg -i ../openafs-modules-source_1.4.2-2_all.deb openafs-client_1.4.2-2_i386.deb 6) Build the kernel module $ sudo apt-get install module-assistant $ sudo module-assistant prepare openafs-modules $ sudo module-assistant auto-build openafs-modules 7) Install the packages (and say [Y]es to overwriting /etc config scripts; there's a bug in the old ones) $ sudo dpkg -i /usr/src/openafs-modules-2.6.17-10-386_1.4.2-2+2.6.17-10.33_i386.deb Step 6 is slightly modified from his original post, as I believe he mistakenly included it. An excerpt from my package list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg -l | grep afs ii openafs-client 1.4.2-4 AFS distributed filesystem client support ii openafs-modules-2.6.17-10-generic 1.4.2-4+2.6.17.1-10.34 AFS distributed filesystem kernel module ii openafs-modules-source 1.4.2-4 AFS distributed filesystem kernel module sou I hope this issue can be resolved soon. -- openafs kernel modules don't build with edgy kernel 2.6.17 https://launchpad.net/bugs/52298 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
