Please backport openafs 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 (universe) from trusty-updates for HWE enabled systems to continue to work

[Louis Bouchard]

The most recent HWE kernels (3.13.0.49.43 from linux-image-generic-lts-trusty) and onward can work again. A kernel modification breaks the DKMS build of openafs-modules-dkms.

This builds upon the previous backport request that is already in precise-backports (openafs 1.6.7-1)

Reason for backport
================
DKMS openafs kernel module no longer builds

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s trusty -d precise openafs

- ppa:inaddy/lp1206387
- lp #1206387 - pkg source

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of openafs. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new openafs. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new openafs installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

debdiff for the backport

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Thanks Louis. I don't understand the reason for the changes though - I just built with and without arch-all packages (sbuild vs sbuild -A) and it succeeded both times. Can you explain what it's about please?

[Louis Bouchard (louis)]

Thanks for testing Iain,

From what I got from cjwatson, using --no-arch-all is what needs to be used and, indeed, it failed for me. But maybe I got something wrong again. Just let me know and I'll be happy to fix it up.

Iain,

I just retested it here & it does fail again (after removing the $build_arch_all = 1 from my .sbuildrc) .
