I am confirming the issue. My output:

Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
In case anyone finds it interesting:
$ sudo rpc.statd -F
Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
: unable to register (statd, 1, udp).
And, not surprisingly:
$ sudo mount -t nfs myserver.local:/ /tmp/MYSERVER/
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
Mind you, again not surprisingly:
$ sudo mount -t nfs -o nolock myserver.local:/ /tmp/MYSERVER/
n...@jaunty:~/shared$ ls -l /tmp/MYSERVER/
total 236
... a correct directory listing ...
So the code is installed and does "work" within limits.
** Changed in: nfs-utils (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
