Bug#280276: apt-get install's autoloader complains 'module autofs4 missing'
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.27
Severity: normal
This is what happens when I install any package, but
I give it for the package that apt complains about.
Apparently, I do have the correct autofs, but somehow
this doesn't imply that autofs4 is included in the
kernel. I've been told recently that the problem
may be a self-compiled (in contrast to a
debian-supplied) kernel, so it may not be an
apt problem at all. So be it: this is my first
ever report of a but, and I struggling to do the
right thing.....

# A solution is on the web: add 'APT::Cache-Limit 12582912;' to the file
# /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf. This, apparently, gives enough room
