What is openafs and how do I configure it?

Asked by Dean von Germeten

I downloaded and tried to install Camera.app 0.8.0-9build1. The installation failed, details said re: dependencies, I have yet to configure openafs. I don't know what that is or where to find it or how to configure it. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

OpenAFS is a distributed file system which is used in large networks, like Universities or large Enterprises. It is something that, except of a few exotic cases, no home user ever needs to configure.

The installation works fine on my system. I guess there is something wrong with your setup. Can you try to install from the Terminal and post the full output? To do so, open the Terminal application an run the command:

sudo apt-get install camera.app

Then copy the full output.

Camera.app is installed already. But you have an broken installation of OpenAFS. You should try to remove it:
sudo apt-get purge openafs-fileserver openafs-client

If I remove it and it goes away, how do I get it back? Thanks!

My tech bud followed your instructions and got it working, he reinstalled some stuff, don't know how or what, so the problem is solved, but I don't think I'm any wiser!
