Reading the 1.6.24 code more carefully these messages

 >Sat Jan 20 16:47:37 2024 ubik: primary address 192.168.1.43 does not 
exist
 >Sat Jan 20 16:47:37 2024 ubik: No network addresses found, aborting..

are produced from the following actions.

1. 192.168.1.43 is the result of evaluating the local hostname and 
resolving that name.

2. The primary address does not exist is the result of 192.168.1.43 not 
being present in the list of addresses returned from parseNetFiles().   
parseNetFiles() will filter the list of addresses returned by 
rx_getAllAddr() by the contents of the NetRestrict file and add the 
addresses included in the NetInfo file.

3. The no network addresses message is the result of rx_getAllAddr() 
returning either an error or an empty address list.  If the address list 
is empty, it means that all of the host's addresses are either 
considered to be loopback or are thought to be something other than an 
IPv4 address.

The failure occurs before the contents of the CellServDB file are examined.

What files are present in the /var/lib/openafs/local/ directory?   The 
NetInfo and NetRestrict files will be located there on Debian instead of 
/etc/openafs/server/.
