The problem here is that you have configured am-utils to use NIS, but
you don't have a NIS client installed.  This caused the init script to
fail when it tried to use NIS to obtain the master map.

am-utils does not depend on NIS, because it's quite possible to use it
without NIS, but if you answer yes to the debconf question about using
NIS for the master map, you do have to have NIS installed and running
before am-utils will start.

The solution is for you to either install the NIS client package first,
or to change the am-utils debconf settings (using dpkg-reconfigure) not
to use NIS.

I don't think this is actually a bug in the package.
