[Bug 476426] [NEW] initctl: Unknown job: autodir

[Jarod]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: autodir

I got autodir 0.99.9-4 installed under Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64.
Under /etc/default/autodir I changed RUN_AUTOHOME to "yes"

Running "initctl start autodir" results in this error message "initctl: Unknown job: autodir".
Running "/etc/init.d/autodir start" also fails since the function load_autofs() is calling modprobe autofs4 with the option -k, which is not supported.
After removing "-k" from the modprobe call and starting the script "/etc/init.d/autodir start" the output looks like this " * Starting Autodir autodir                                              [ OK ]" but the process is not started. This maybe due to the script "/sbin/start-stop-daemon", which only outputs an error message to standard error and then returns 0. But the script is not the the start-stop-daemon. There is however a file "/sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL" which I am reluctant to move to "/sbin/start-stop-daemon", because karmic is supposed to using upstart and not SystemV anymore. Or am I wrong?
