OK, I know this is very old technology, but we still use 'package' for

Here is the compile error, I've looked through the package files, but I
can't tell which value is void that shouldn't be. This built fine in
1.2.13. Thanks.
You haven't told us what platform or compiler you're using, but I'm going
to guess that it's a recent Linux using gcc 4. The thing that changed here
is not OpenAFS; it's your compiler.
The complaint is not that a value is void that shouldn't be.
The complaint is that a value that _is_ void is not being ignored.
Specifically, sync() returns void, but we are comparing its return value as
if it were an integer. This is a perfectly reasonable thing to do; it
wasn't until relatively recently that some platforms started declaring
sync(2) as returning void. The reason you're losing is that you've
switched to a compiler that is rather more pedantic about such things than
the one you were using before.
You might consider sending a report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I bet the gatekeepers would be happy if you included a patch.
