Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openafs-client

Hi,

I'm using the openafs-client package from Ubuntu Gutsy (openafs-client
1.4.4.dfsg1-7).  Sometimes the DHCP server is quite slow to respond, but
OpenAFS already tries to use the network and fails to contact the volume
location server, making AFS unusable from this client.  See the log
below.

I think the OpenAFS client should only be started after the network
connection is set up correctly, but it seems to be started too early.

Regards,
Ansgar
