This is fixed in openafs 1.4.7 and later, but hardy still includes 1.4.6.

Installing openafs-modules-source from intrepid works fine, can package be backported?

Noting that the current version works properly so that the status is clearer in bug triage. (I'm not entirely sure that I'm doing this properly; I'm not sure how Launchpad is supposed to indicate bugs that only affect particular stable releases.)

The right status is Fix Released if it’s fixed in the current Ubuntu development release, and Fix Committed if the fix is queued for eventually entering that release (e.g. it’s in pkg-k5-afs/openafs.git).

This bug was fixed in Intrepid. If you need this fix in a previous Ubuntu release, you can try the backported packages at https://launchpad.net/~anders-kaseorg/+archive/openafs .

Changed in openafs (Ubuntu):
status: Fix Committed → Fix Released
