Sorry, LaMont.

Thank you for the correction.Martin, I think this should be added in section 5.3 of the release-notes, the whole text becoming then:
"Since util-linux 2.13 NFS mounts are no longer handled by util-linux itself, but by nfs-common. Since not all systems mount NFS shares and to avoid a standard portmapper installation util-linux only suggests nfs-common. If you need to mount NFS shares, make sure nfs-common is installed on your system. The preinstallation script of the mount package checks, whether NFS mounts exist and aborts if /usr/sbin/mount.nfs from nfs-common is not present or if nfs-common is out-of-date. Either upgrade nfs-common, or unmount any NFS mounts prior to upgrading mount."
