[OpenAFS-devel] RedHat 8 weirdness

[Derek Atkins]

I presume you verified that the modules for 2.4.18-17.8.0 did not work
with -19.8.0 before going through this hassle?

-derek

PS: I don't know what it's looking for or why it's failing, but if we
need to recompile for -19, and there is a patch to fix this issue, I
could add it to the RPM in an interim release.
