I just upgraded from the 11.10 release. On it I could not get the am-utils package to update or work properly. I tried upgrading to the 12.04 but it hasn't fixed anything. I've tried installing it from terminal but it always comes up with this error:

It's not a bug in am-utils. Your am-utils config mentions NIS, which is not the default, and you don't have NIS installed, so it doesn't start correctly. Either install NIS as well, or fix your pre-existing am-utils config.
