Fresh install of the package 'nscd' will failed with message :

Press return to continue.


After a fresh install of 'nscd' package, the service don't start due to
syntax error in configuration file '/etc/nscd.conf'.

There is a tabulation at the begin of the lines (63 and 64) :
# hosts caching is broken with gethostby* calls, hence is now disabled
# per default.  See /usr/share/doc/nscd/NEWS.Debian.

After suppression of this tabulations and execution of the command :
$ apt-get install --reinstall nscd

the package install properly, and the service start fine.
