  Subj: Bug#1120045: autofs: /etc/mtab symlink d  
 11: 
 org 
 From: sergio.gelato@astro.su.se 
  
 Package: autofs 
 Version: 5.1.8-2+deb12u2 
  
 automount has code (duplicated in various places in daemon/spawn.c) to pass 
 the -n option to mount and umount when /etc/mtab is a symlink to either 
 /proc/mounts or /proc/self/mounts . Despite this, I'm still seeing this in 
 the logs: 
  
 Unable to update the mtab file, /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab will differ 
  
 I think the problem is that autofs only checks for absolute symlink targets 
 whereas Debian sets up /etc/mtab as a relative symlink (to .. 
 /proc/self/mounts on all the installations I've checked).
