Package: nfs-common Version: 1:1.2.8-9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am running Debian stretch. When nfs-common is loaded on booting, rpcbind.service isn't loaded. This causes the following statements in the init script to exit: if [ -x /usr/sbin/rpcinfo ]; then /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p >/dev/null 2>&1 RET=$? if [ $RET != 0 ]; then echo log_warning_msg "Not starting: portmapper is not running" exit 0 fi When calling systemctl restart nfs-common.service in a running system, it causes rpcbind.service to be loaded and thus the init script continues to run. Kind regards, Benedikt Wildenhain P.S.: I did not investigate how to get rpcbind running, as I only use NFSv4 and explicitly setting NEED_STATD=no in /etc/default/nfs-common was enough to get NFSv4 working.
