My linux machine told me an update was available, so I tried to
take it. Bad idea. I appeared to have a bad version of rpmupdate
installed; running update_ws complained about an undefined symbol
"fdOpen" in rpmupdate. Since I updated the machine to 8.4 during alpha,
I was willing to believe I had special lossage, so I manually updated
the athena_ws package to get a more recent rpmupdate.
Once I did that, update_ws ran just fine. When the machine
booted after the update, it tried to load the module:
/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.2.14-6.0.1.o
to start AFS, which didn't exist. In an effort to get AFS working, I
made it a symlink to /usr/vice/etc/libafs-2.2.14.o and ran
/etc/rc.d/init.d/afs start by hand. That said the module failed to
load. If I try to insmod the 2.2.14 module by hand, I get:
/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.2.14.o: can't handle sections of type 1869360756
