It seems autofs is completely broken for me not only does the service not start automatically it doesn't mount NFS shares on manual start.
Here is what I have tried
$ sudo service autofs restart
autofs start/running, process 4590
in syslog I see
May 14 12:44:17 sky-ubuntu automount[4590]: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ]
here is my nsswitch.conf not sure what is wrong here
$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

If I try to automount manually this is what I see
