The portmap failure might be a red herring: the 'portmap' package is not installed. /etc/init/portmap.conf exists because the package was removed (automatically during one of the upgrades) but not purged. I've no idea why Upstart says
# status portmap portmap start/running since there's no portmap process running. (rpcbind is installed and running.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371564 Title: statd fails to come up on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1371564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
