Package: apt Version: 0.5.27 Severity: normal This is what happens when I install any package, but I give it for the package that apt complains about.
Apparently, I do have the correct autofs, but somehow this doesn't imply that autofs4 is included in the kernel. I've been told recently that the problem may be a self-compiled (in contrast to a debian-supplied) kernel, so it may not be an apt problem at all. So be it: this is my first ever report of a but, and I struggling to do the right thing..... q [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install autofs Reading Package Lists...
