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.
