First the client has all libtirpc packages I think are necessary: # dpkg -l libtirpc\*|grep ii ii libtirpc-dev 0.2.2-5ubuntu2 ii libtirpc1:amd64 0.2.2-5ubuntu2 We have libtirpc1 on the machines by default and I had to install libtirpc-dev so that ./configure would conclude that --with-libtirpc should do anything. Actually I tried to compile autofs 5.1.1 from source and a new 5.0.7 package from ubuntu's source deb. Using the sources at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5/ I was basically confused what to do about the patches. Do I have to apply everything in patches-5.1.2 to autofs-5.1.1.tar.gz to get 5.1.2 ? How do I do that automatically ? I noticed that autofs-5.1.1.tar.gz misses the patch mentioned in message 15 of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737679 but contained in autofs-5.1.1-revert-fix-libtirpc-name-clash.patch. So to make it short I certainly messed something up somewhere, the final binary and libs were no success . Additionally installation did not play nice, although --prefix= was set it overwrote configuration files in /etc. But I think I cleaned everything up afterwards. If someone can provide some hints I would try it again. After that I rebuild the 5.0.7 package from source deb after adding --with-libtirpc to debian/rules as suggested in the bug reports. I installed from that package. I checked with ldd after installing that ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/autofs/mount_nfs.so was build with a reference to libtirpc. This try gave the error message in the ubuntu bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/1564380 So, any hints are appreciated. As long as I can stick to 5.0.7 rebuilt from the source deb installing/re-installing is no problem and I can try different things you might want. Assuming I can get the program to work :-) Thank you very much for all your help ! Best Regards Christof -- Dr. rer. nat.
