Public bug reported:

I'm running a server which provides user home directories as NFSv4
shares. The clients mount these shares via automount + LDAP.

Now I've updated one client from 20.04 to 22.04 (new installation from 
scratch). Setting up things as before, I cannot get the automount mechanism to 
work any more.
After the update, the autofs package version is 5.1.8-1ubuntu1.

Setting autofs to verbose mode, the crucial lines in /var/log/syslog on the 
client are
automount[115692]: mount(nfs): nfs options="nfsvers=4,hard", nobind=0, 
nosymlink=0, ro=0
automount[115692]: get_nfs_info: called with host <...> proto 6 version 0x40
automount[115692]: get_portmap_client: error 0x3 getting portmap client
automount[115692]: mount(nfs): no hosts available

I think it is the same bug reported on the autofs mailing list here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/autofs/msg02389.html
Apparently, it has been introduced in the transition of autofs from 5.1.7 to 
5.1.8.

A fix has been posted here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/autofs/msg02391.html

It would be great if this fix could be included in Ubuntu 22.04.
Otherwise, I cannot update my clients. As my setup should not be too
exotic, I guess there are other people who will face the same problem
when they are doing the Ubuntu update to the new LTS version.
