The problem here is that you have configured am-utils to use NIS, but you don't have a NIS client installed. This caused the init script to fail when it tried to use NIS to obtain the master map.
am-utils does not depend on NIS, because it's quite possible to use it without NIS, but if you answer yes to the debconf question about using NIS for the master map, you do have to have NIS installed and running before am-utils will start.
The solution is for you to either install the NIS client package first, or to change the am-utils debconf settings (using dpkg-reconfigure) not to use NIS.
I don't think this is actually a bug in the package.
