Public bug reported:
I am trying to access an autofs mounted resource that depends on another autofs
managed resource.
I.e. I try to open a truecrypt container that is located on a samba fileshare.
Both are registered with autofs and both are initially not mounted.
When I try to access the truecrypt container it fails. The autofs log says "no
such file" for the cifs container and does not
try to mount the cifs resource automatically.
If I manually mount the cifs fileshare (or try to accesss this prior to the
truecrypt) it works.
After some research and communication with the autofs maintainer (Ian Kent) I
found out that in order for this to work autofs has to be configured with the
configure option
--disable-mount-locking is used.
Currently, autofs_5.0.7-3ubuntu1.dsc does not use this option.
I contacted the autofs maintainer and he confirmed that
--disable-mount-locking should be used in the configure.
He believes that using this option causes no side effects and solves the issue
I experience.

>apt-cache policy autofs
autofs:
Installed: 5.0.7-3ubuntu1
Candidate: 5.0.7-3ubuntu1

I would expect that the autofs_5.0.7-3ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz -> rules is adapted
and the option
--disable-mount-locking
is added by default, see attachement patch
