Bug#567502: Exclude portmap from standard task
Hello, I too want to exclude portmap from the standard task. In case you want to install all the standard packages then aptitude warns you about a conflict. |vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ sudo aptitude install '?priority(standard)' The following NEW packages will be installed: portmap 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/38.9 kB of archives. After unpacking 184 kB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: rpcbind: Conflicts: portmap but 6.0.0-3 is to be installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) nfs-common 2) rpcbind Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies. Abort. vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ | 'nfs-common' has dependecies with 'portmap' or 'rpcbind'. But the latest version of 'nfs-common' can work correctly with 'rpcbind'. Every time I reinstall the standard packages (I use a script with aptitude to update the list of installed packages) I get a conflict that I have to resolve in favor of 'rpcbind'. I expect that this conflict will also exist when you install a new Debian system with the standard task enabled. (I haven't checked it) Regards, Vincent Smeets I am using Debian Testing amd64.

reassign 567502 ftp.debian.org retitle 567502 RM: portmap -- ROM; superseded by rpcbind thanks On 04/27/2011 10:06 PM, Vincent Smeets wrote: I too want to exclude portmap from the standard task. In case you want to install all the standard packages then aptitude warns you about a conflict. Well, the idea is that it will be removed. Requesting for removal now. As rpcbind provides portmap, there should be no issues for reverse (build) dependencies especially as there are no versioned ones. 'nfs-common' has dependecies with 'portmap' or 'rpcbind'. But the latest version of 'nfs-common' can work correctly with 'rpcbind'. Every time I reinstall the standard packages (I use a script with aptitude to update the list of installed packages) I get a conflict that I have to resolve in favor of 'rpcbind'. The latest version of nfs-common does depend explicitly on rpcbind already btw. Cheers Luk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#567502: Exclude portmap from standard task
Package: portmap Version: 6.0.0-1 Severity: normal Hi, A default Debian install (without GUI) includes portmap, which listens on a public IP address. Could this avoided? Either by excluding portmap altogether or by only listening on localhost.
