[Bug 369875] Re: openafs-client does not recognize openafs-modules-dkms as satisfying dependency

[Mackenzie Morgan]

** Description changed:

- In Jaunty, the openafs-client (1.4.9.dfsg1-0+ubuntu3) package recommends
- openafs-modules-source or openafs-modules2, but does not refer to the
- new openafs-modules-dkms.
+ Impact:
+ In Jaunty, the openafs-client (1.4.9.dfsg1-0+ubuntu3) package recommends openafs-modules-source or openafs-modules2, but does not refer to the new openafs-modules-dkms.
  
  This causes apt-get to try to install openafs-modules-source with
  openafs-client, even if openafs-modules-dkms is already installed.  As
  far as I know, openafs-modules-dkms should satisfy all the same
  dependencies as openafs-modules-source, so the openafs-client package
  should probably be updated to reflect this.
+ 
+ Patch:
+ Patches attached for Jaunty & Karmic.  
+ 
+ How it's addressed:
+ The openafs-modules2 option is removed since that package doesn't exist in any supported Ubuntu or Debian release anymore.  The openafs-modules-dkms option is added as an "or" with openafs-modules-source but listed first since it's the easier one for setup and thus preferred.   Also, since they're all built from the same source package and the openafs-modules-source version requirement was 6 years old, unsupported upstream, and "well, it might work, but that's a bad idea" according to upstream, the version is set to ${source:Version} since matching versions is the recommended situation.
+ 
+ Instructions to reproduce:
+ Try to install openafs-client and note that it wants to make you use module-assistant manually when it could set everything up automatically with dkms for you.
+ 
+ Regression possibilities:
+ None
