Benjamin,

thanks for the report. Yes, there's a bug in the package scripts which leaves the old link behind - it should have been deleted. The links cannot be owned by a package.

As a workaround, running "/sbin/openafs-modules --clean-up" is a bit simpler than finding the dangling link yourself.

I'm working on a fix.
