Hi Robert, I haven't found the reason. For my limited kernel knowledge I have checked and discussed a bit.
in [1] I found $ grep -Hrn autofs debian.master/contro* debian.master/control.d/generic.inclusion-list:181:fs/autofs4/autofs4.ko But then was made aware that with 4.18 ther kernel started to include this series [2] Which means it was moved to a different path. Maybe this would be enough to fix it, btu that is up to the kernel team diff --git a/debian.master/control.d/generic.inclusion-list b/debian.master/control.d/generic.inclusion-list index 3797f760226a..19fb0d4620c0 100644 --- a/debian.master/control.d/generic.inclusion-list +++ b/debian.master/control.d/generic.inclusion-list @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ drivers/xen/* ! find sound/core -name oss -prune -o -name *.ko -print fs/9p/* fs/aufs/aufs.ko -fs/autofs4/autofs4.ko +fs/autofs/autofs4.ko fs/binfmt_misc.ko fs/btrfs/* fs/cachefiles/cachefiles.ko [1]: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic.git [2]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=68abbe729567cef128b2c2141f2ed2567f3b8372 ** Changed in: autofs (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824333 Title: autofs kernel module missing Status in autofs package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in autofs source package in Cosmic: Invalid Status in linux source package in Cosmic: New Bug description: linux-modules-4.18.0-17-generic misses the autofs module whereas linux-modules-4.15.0-47-generic contains it: root@files07:~# find /lib/modules -name '*autofs*' /lib/modules/4.15.0-46-generic/kernel/fs/autofs4 /lib/modules/4.15.0-46-generic/kernel/fs/autofs4/autofs4.ko /lib/modules/4.15.0-47-generic/kernel/fs/autofs4 /lib/modules/4.15.0-47-generic/kernel/fs/autofs4/autofs4.ko root@files07:~# dpkg -l|grep linux-modules ii linux-modules-4.15.0-46-generic 4.15.0-46.49 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.15.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-modules-4.15.0-47-generic 4.15.0-47.50 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.15.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-modules-4.18.0-15-generic 4.18.0-15.16~18.04.1 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.18.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-modules-4.18.0-16-generic 4.18.0-16.17~18.04.1 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.18.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-modules-4.18.0-17-generic 4.18.0-17.18~18.04.1 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.18.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP This make it impossible to install and use the autofs package.
