If not, can bos/vos (or only bos) be put in a -common or
'openafs-server-clients' package? Or included in the openafs-{db,file}server
package(s) (with overrides or/and what not)...


I know it complicates things, but I just can't install openafs-client
on my server(s). The're SPARC64 (with kernel 2.6), and i never been able
to compile the module for that arch/kernel...

Not quite so:

----- s n i p -----
pumba.pts/9]$ dpkg -I openafs-client_1.4.0-2_sparc.deb | grep -i depends
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libncurses5 (>= 5.2.20020112a-1), debconf (>= 
0.5), sysvinit (>= 2.80-1), openafs-modules-source (>= 1.2.9) | openafs-modules2
----- s n i p -----

And since openafs-dbserver depends on openafs-fileserver, which in turn
depends on openafs-clients, there's no way I can install ONLY openafs-dbserver
(OR only the openafs-fileserver OR openafs-{db,file}server combined) on my 
machine
(SPARC64, where I can't/doesn't want to make the kernel module) WITHOUT getting
openafs-client as well...

    Russ> The init script for the file server and db server depends on having
    Russ>  bos available

I found that out to after some trial-and-error :) I just changed my localy made
package to not have the dependencies explained, and just took 'bos' from another
machine...

Didn't work any way (seems 1.3 and 1.4 can't work together in the same
cell!?).
