OK, we'll look into that.  That really is one of the correct way's of
installing openafs, so we'll try and get this fixed..

The other is to just install the openafs stuff, typing them out by hand.
  That actually should be the same as downloading and installing the
rpm's by just using rpm.  You're going to be listing the same rpm's.  So
if you have the latest kernel you would do

   yum install openafs openafs-client openafs-krb5
kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL
kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp
