I tried to upgrade to lenny using an ethernet connection. The process stopped when the monitor displayed "trying to update portmap 5-26"
After a few minutes, I pressed control-C and the upgrade seemed to continue. The resulting system seems to work, but when I try to use aptitude to get new software, it again freezes with a complaint about portmap. Perhaps related, it says I need to install "nfs-common". I read that portmap has something to do with RCS servers. I don't know what that is!
