Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.0.10-1
Severity: important
This is a placeholder bug so I won't forget about it myself. :-)
In Debian, /etc/services is a conffile. This means that on upgrades, it
might not actually get the changes.
At some point, rpc.gssd started requiring having nfs/tcp in
/etc/services. In netbase 4.24 (January 2006), netbase added this (in
response to bug #345836); however, an admin might still not have it
(since it's a conffile). If it's not there, rpc.gssd fails in rather odd
and hard-to-track ways.
Thus, we need to handle this somehow. Braindump for suggestions (a
combination would be good, I guess):
1. Depend on newbase (>= 4.24).
2. Error out with a debconf error in postinst if it's not fixed.
3. Error out in the init script if it's not fixed when/if rpc.gssd
is to be started.
4. Fall back to simply using port 2049 if the getaddrinfo call fails
(needs to be pushed upstream).
