Installing yesterday's version of openafs (specifically the kernel
module package, kmod-openafs-431) completely breaks AFS due to a
broken symbolic link:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 63 Apr 10 12:51
/lib/modules/2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64/updates/fs/openafs/openafs.ko
-> /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/kernel/fs/openafs/openafs.ko

I don't know why this link exists to begin with (rpm claims the link
is 'not owned by any package') but in any case it is pointing to the
wrong path.

kmod-openafs-431-1.6.5.1-147.sl6.431.x86_64 installs the kernel module as
/lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/kernel/fs/openafs/openafs.ko

kmod-openafs-431-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.431.11.2.x86_64 installs it as
/lib/modules/2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64/kernel/fs/openafs/openafs.ko

As a result, modprobe can't find the module.  Changing the symlink to
point to the correct location appears to fix the problem.
