Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

the current autofs has a nasty behaviour. When something has been
mounted and the package is beeing upgraded, then the device becomes
umounted. However, it is still listed in /etc/mtab (not in /proc/mounts,
of course). The result: the new autofs is unuseable on that share. When
I enter the mount point, the directory becomes created, but the device
is not mounted. Instead, it writes following to syslog:

Feb 26 18:56:34 debian automount[7227]: mount(generic): warning: 
/var/autofs/misc/cd is already mounted

However, $user needs root permissions to read that log file. Very
disturbing.

I suggest that upstream checks /proc/mounts before throwing this message
and leaving the job half-done.

Regards,
Eduard.
