Package: autofs

Then it freezes. I need to type Ctrl-C and I get:

First of all, which version are you upgrading from?

Second, could you please try running

  sh -x -e /var/lib/dpkg/info/autofs.postinst configure <old-version>
  sh -x -e /etc/init.d/autofs restart

and give what both print out? I can't really see a good reason why autofs
upgrade should hang _after_ it has been successfully restarted...

Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-1
Followup-For: Bug #295477

I ran into this too. In general, maintainer scripts that use debconf
and start background processes (particularly daemons that will run
indefinitely) should first call db_stop to avoid trouble. However,
AFAICT, autofs's postinst does not really need debconf at all, so it
should suffice to stop sourcing /usr/share/debconf/confmodule.

Since there's a lot of output, I'm redirecting stderr and attaching
the result.

I don't see either. /etc/init.d/autofs is working as expected.
But the autofs.postinst script doesn't.

Aha, db_stop is the problem. I'll make an upload later today, thanks.

I tried doing that, but lintian complained, saying it was required.
