Could we copy the kmod-openafs only depending on the module for the latest
kernel over from 6.4 to the other repos?
I'm afraid I made a mistake when leaving the kabi dependencies in the modules
without testing all these cases again. I think next time we touch the package,
those deps should simply go.
Sorry for the problem,
Stephan
