[OpenAFS] Trouble compiling openafs with new FC5 and FC6 kernels

[Paul Johnson]

In the website http://www.openafs.org, I do not find any package 1.4.3rc3.
Where is it??  In there, it looks like 1.4.2 is the end of the line.

I did find a development version 1.5.16 and it does compile and install.

However, when I try to start the openafs-client service, I get the
incredibly helpful error message "Some bad or missing file in
/usr/vice/etc".  Can somebody tell me if there is a configuration
change in 1.5.X compared to 1.4.2?  I can't find any documentation
about it in the tarball.
