[OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.2.9 Not Working with RH Kernel

[Rubino Geiß]

Look in your /usr/vice/etc and /usr/afs/etc dir for files like
ThisCell.rpmsave and CellServDB.rpmsave ... and check if they contain the
rigth stuff. Then move them back in their original name. ThisCell,
CellServDB, etc. This will cure it.

rpm update is a bit evil! There are some reasons that it should be such
"bad", but once more we got a clue that it shouldn’t(_please_ rpm maintainer
be good and remove the ThisCell and CellServDB renaming script). In all of
the cases it does no good to me!

Thanks, in advance.
