I can't install autofs

Hello everyone!

I would like to install autofs but I can't.

Should it be in the official repositories?
I tried the following link but it can't find it:
https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q … =&flagged=

So I tried again with AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/autofs/ and during the install:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/autofs.git
$ cd autofs
$ makepkg -s
==> Package creation: autofs 5.1.7-1 (Wed 12 May 2021, 20:55:56)
==> Checking dependencies during startup ...

What can I do? Thank you

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: I can't install autofs

OK done! Thank you very much! I was able to install it!

I first installed Arch Linux to try and think it's a distro to use.

I don't understand why the autofs package was removed from the official repositories! I believe it is a fundamental application for using NFS.

Thank you very much!

Re: I can't install autofs

Packages are removed when no maintainer wishes to maintain the package.  This avoids packages being in the repositories that are unmaintained or untested.
