Description vince 2011-02-26 20:34:24 UTC
Description of problem:
amd does not work with autofs5, have to restrict it to autofs4.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install amd
2. configure to use autofs maps

Actual results:
fails to mount filesystems, tries to use autofs5 instead of autofs4 (it doesn't understand autofs5).

Expected results:
Should use autofs.

Additional info:
Here's a patch to fix am-utils-6.1.5-*. This should be applied to all versions of am-utils that are being released (I know it affects F12-F15, possibly prior to F12, which of course are no longer supported).

Comment 1 Jonathan Peatfield 2011-03-05 02:21:53 UTC
I wonder if the brokenness of am-utils with recent releases is at least part of the reason why am-utils is missing from RHEL6.  Still we now probably have a fix which will work there too.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 13:55:08 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
