Installing yesterday's version of openafs (specifically the kernel module package, kmod-openafs-431) completely breaks AFS due to a broken symbolic link:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 63 Apr 10 12:51 /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64/updates/fs/openafs/openafs.ko -> /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/kernel/fs/openafs/openafs.ko I don't know why this link exists to begin with (rpm claims the link is 'not owned by any package') but in any case it is pointing to the wrong path. kmod-openafs-431-1.6.5.1-147.sl6.431.x86_64 installs the kernel module as /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/kernel/fs/openafs/openafs.ko kmod-openafs-431-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.431.11.2.x86_64 installs it as /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64/kernel/fs/openafs/openafs.ko As a result, modprobe can't find the module. Changing the symlink to point to the correct location appears to fix the problem. Benjamin
