Public bug reported:

I had an autofs mounted /var/spool/apt-mirror.  When attempting to do an
'apt-get upgrade' after the 'do-release-upgrade' which generated the
error, I received the following messages:


Setting up apt-mirror (0.4.8-5) ...
chown: changing ownership of `/var/spool/apt-mirror': Invalid argument
dpkg: error processing apt-mirror (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
                                                              Errors were 
encountered while processing:
 apt-mirror
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So I did the following:

root@hobbes:~# service autofs stop
autofs stop/waiting
root@hobbes:~# umount /var/spool/apt-mirror
umount: /var/spool/apt-mirror: not mounted
root@hobbes:~# apt-get upgrade

Setting up apt-mirror (0.4.8-5) ...
root@hobbes:~# service autofs start
autofs start/running, process 5463

Everything seems to be ok now.
