Either you're trying to install the kernel module in a seperate  
operation from installing the userspace (the dependency checks now  
require you to install both the kernel modules and the client code in  
a single RPM transaction), or you're trying to mix an openafs-client  
RPM built to use 'old-style' kernel modules with the new 'kmod' style  
modules.

Cheers,
