On certain hardware (for example Dell OptiPlex 7090 and Dell Latitude
7420), the graphical update of Ubuntu 20.04 will automatically install
packages like oem-somerville-cubone-rkl-meta or
oem-somerville-squirtle-meta. These replace kernel 5.13
(generic-hwe-20.04) with 5.14 (linux-oem-20.04c/d).
openafs-client 1.8.8-0ppa1~ubuntu20.04.1 from ppa:openafs/stable does
compile on kernel 5.14, but there are runtime failures, which are
mentioned in the OpenAFS 1.8.8.1 changelog for Ubuntu 22.04:
* Import upstream patch to improve support for linux 5.14 (avoiding
a runtime error when the set_page_dirty operation is requested)
Doing a simple backport of the 22.04 package 1.8.8.1 to 20.04 fixes the
problem.
ppa:openafs/stable needs an update to 1.8.8.1 and focal-updates should
at least get the patch mentioned above. Thanks a lot.
Best wishes,
Jan Henrik
