During "sudo module-assistant auto-build openafs-modules" the setup failed about halfway through. I checked the error log and found that the install script was trying to use gcc-3.4. Since my machine only has GCC 4.0, I created the symbolic link "/usr/bin/gcc-3.4" to point to "/usr/bin/gcc". Afterward, the rest of the steps described below worked normally. Could this be related?

What version of the OpenAFS package is in Ubuntu 5.10? That looks really
familiar, like it's a bug that I fixed in a later release in Debian that
may have been too late to make it into Ubuntu. Looks like you need at
least 1.4.0-1 to work with 2.6.12-10 presuming the Ubuntu 2.6.12-10
matches the Linux version.
openafs (1.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version.
- Builds correctly with 2.6.13 kernels and software suspend.
- Builds correctly with 2.6.12-10. (Closes: #337883)
although that problem was a compilation error.
