Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

It looks like you have some files (or perhaps a full package) left over from a much older autofs installation.

You might be able to remove that using

    apt-get purge autofs autofs4

If that doesn't work, then please do

    dpkg -l | grep autofs

and then

   dpkg -P <packagename>

for each entry you see.

Please do reply if you have any further questions.
