Bug#619877: rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
I had the exact same problem.
I couldn't workout out what was wrong because I didn't have the time to do so.
In my /var/log/daemon.log file I got the following messages when trying to start the nfs-common init script:
Mar 28 22:17:14 gecko rpc.statd[9340]: Version 1.2.3 starting
Mar 28 22:17:14 gecko sm-notify[9341]: Version 1.2.3 starting
Mar 28 22:17:14 gecko sm-notify[9341]: Already notifying clients; Exiting!
Mar 28 22:17:14 gecko rpc.statd[9340]: failed to create RPC listeners, exiting
I ended up going back to the 1.2.2-5 version of the packages which worked again.
The following system information is from when I went back to the older version of the package, but gives an idea of where everything
else is at.
