[Bug 952340] Re: autofs5 fails to install: post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Dmitri Fedorov]

Ok, I can reproduce the bug any time now:

$ sudo apt-get install autofs5
...
Setting up autofs5 (5.0.6-0ubuntu4) ...
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript autofs, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing autofs5 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 autofs5
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What happens---It seems---is that autofs fails to start via start
utility:

$ sudo start autofs
start: Job failed to start
$ cd ~fedorov
bash: cd: /usr/users/fedorov: No such file or directory

However, if I manually start automount, everything seems to work just
fine:

$ sudo automount
$ cd ~fedorov
/usr/users/fedorov$

So the bug seems to be not in autofs5 but rather in Upstart, no?

Should I mention also that the root filesystem on this box is on a
raid0?
