This bug also affects me:

Starting AFS services:

As can be seen above, I'm running kernel 3.19 (I think I installed a HWE version, it was whatever was suggested at the download page.)

It might be the same as bug #1433411, but 1433411 has languished for quite some time (it currently has status Undecided and Unassigned.)
