Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

These patches have gotten testing in https://launchpad.net/~openafs/+archive/ubuntu/stable for a few months; I should have sent these in for sponsorship a while ago. Please upload.

This is now most easily fixed by syncing openafs 1.6.9-2 from Debian (bug 1372718). The fix is the only source change in 1.6.9-2.

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

1.6.9-2 built fine:

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

AFS users cannot use the backported kernel on trusty.

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

Could someone please refresh the debdiff in comment #5 so that it applies to the openafs package in trusty, and test it?

I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now. Please re-subscribe ubuntu-sponsors once there is a debdiff to sponsor. Thanks!
