Hmm. Works for me with openafs 1.4.8.dfsg1-2 on Jaunty amd64, kernel 2.6.28-8-generic.

If you're using module-assistant, did you run m-a clean openafs since the previous time you built? Usually that's the problem with this particular error. If you don't run module-assistant clean, it will just unpack the source over top of your old build directory, which can result in all sorts of odd build problems.

Thanks. It builds now. But it still wont work. But thats a different bug. My question is why doesnt m-a do a clean before each build? I didnt even know that option existed because it never appears as a choice anywhere when running m-a in interactive mode.

Yes, please file that.

I don't know. Might be worth a bug against m-a. I didn't realize this
problem myself until fairly recently.
