I'll try to sum up the problems and solutions reported so far. I'll stress that these problems currently render NFS (v2, v3, v4) non-functioning on latest Debian sid.
1. [nfs-common pkg] needs rpcbind-ONLY dependency: we have to remove portmap dependency. (#562757) 2. [rpcbind pkg] rpcbind lacks an init script (#563053) + I've already suggested an init script in that bug page. + upon postinst/prerm, run rpcbind start/stop, respectively. + also, probably rpcbind package should conflict with portmap. ======= Michael: to me it seems that NEED_STATD is "YES" not due to some smart fstab autodetection, but simply because default is YES. (/etc/init.d/nfs-common:75). As far as I understand it's not easy to autodetect whether the sysadmin wants NFSv4 only or v3 or both, so I think that it's best to leave the current behavior as is, considering that NFSv3 is still widely used. It makes sense that a sysadmin should take an extra effort to disable NFSv3 and its daemons, like you did in order to avoid this bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
