at least in unstable, recompiling the package with --with-libtirpc got me up and running again. i have a host that had both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on its interface. in a fit of address reclamation, i had removed the IPv4 address, and that broke the automounter. the NFS server i use for home is IP'd and DNS'd for v4 and v6.
essentially, after pulling down source and build-deps [along with libtirpc-dev], doing this: cd autofs* sed -i 's#--with-sasl#--with-sasl \\\n\t\t--with-libtirpc#g' debian/rules fakeroot debian/rules binary got me up and running again. until some steps are taken here or there in the build process of autofs, i guess i'll have to have this package pushed via puppet, so that my IPv6 only machines can still have NFS automounted home. david On Sat, 12 Apr 2014 18:16:19 +0000 Ivan Shmakov <i...@siamics.net> wrote: > >>>>> Arne Nordmark <nordm...@mech.kth.se> writes: > > >> It looks like this is down to autofs not handling names using only > >> IPv6 addresses.
