Package: nbd-server
Version: 1:2.9.11-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Running nbd-server results in an error that a configuration file cannot
be parsed or found:
$ nbd-server 1234 /some/file
** (process:9399): WARNING **: Could not parse config file: Could not open
config file.
$ nbd-server 1234 /some/file -C /usr/share/nbd-server/nbd-server.conf.tmpl
** (process:9401): WARNING **: Could not parse config file: Unknown error
$ nbd-server 1234 /some/file -C /non-existent
** (process:9403): WARNING **: Could not parse config file: Could not open
config file.
So neither the template config file works, nor a non-existent file as
specified in the man-page.
Best regards,
Jaap Eldering

No it doesn't.

It's a *warning*, not an error. nbd-server will happily continue with
the command-line specified configuration if it can't parse the config
file, but will give you a warning message that the config file could not
be read.
Since you specified a port and a filename, nbd-server should be running
and waiting for a client to connect at this point.

That is an incomplete template file to be used by the debconf
configuration scripts. By itself, it indeed is an invalid configuration
file.
