** Description changed:

+ Binary package hint: openafs-modules-dkms
+ 
+ IMPACT: If openafs-modules-dkms is installed but the necessary kernel
+ headers to build kernel modules are not, openafs-modules-dkms' postinst
+ will continually fail to complete. I believe this can sometimes also
+ trigger more broadly on any upgrade of the openafs package that doesn't
+ change the upstream version number (i.e. all versions of 1.4.9)
+ 
+ DEVELOPMENT: This bug was fixed in Lucid by syncing in 1.4.11+dfsg-5;
+ for the Jaunty and Karmic SRU, we simply backport the fix synced in from
+ Debian.
+ 
+ PATCH:
+ http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35845647/openafs_1.4.9.dfsg1-0%2Bubuntu3.2.debdiff
+ for Jaunty;
+ http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35845649/openafs_1.4.11%2Bdfsg-1%2Bubuntu0.2.debdiff
+ for Karmic
+ 
+ INSTRUCTIONS: Uninstall linux-headers-`uname -r`, then install openafs-
+ modules-dkms. Observe that openafs-modules-dkms' postinst fails. Observe
+ also that running "dpkg --configure -a" repeatedly does not resolve the
+ problem.
+ 
+ REGRESSION: Unlikely. The only changes being made here are to maintainer
+ scripts, and it's backporting a patch from Debian. The likelihood of
+ bizarre toolchain bugs also seems fairly low, given that openafs has had
+ relatively recent SRUs for both Jaunty and Karmic.
+
