openafs-modules-dkms (1.6.9-2) fails to build

[seth goldstein]

1) Version of Ubuntu:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.10
Release: 14.10

2) Version of Package

$ apt-cache policy openafs-modules-dkms
openafs-modules-dkms:
  Installed: 1.6.9-2
  Candidate: 1.6.9-2
  Version table:
 *** 1.6.9-2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen

That the package would build resulting in a valid 'openafs.ko' created in /lib/modules/3.16.0-33-generic/fs/openafs.ko

4) What happened instead

It failed to build and printed:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.16.0-33-generic (x86_64)

Summary:

I tried to install openafs-modules-dkms to get openafs working on 14.10. It fails to build (attaching the make.log), but in short libafs/MODLOAD-3.16.0-33-generic-SP/afs_daemons.o fails to build.
