Bug#562737: failed with "Starting NFS common utilities: statd failed!"

[Gábor Gombás <gombasg@digikabel.hu>]

Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.2.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #562737

Just got this. The problem seems to be that portmap listens only on
IPv4, due to the "-i 127.0.0.1" option:

# lsof -c portmap
portmap 25012 daemon    5u  IPv4             964900      0t0    UDP localhost:sunrpc 
portmap 25012 daemon    6u  IPv4             964901      0t0    TCP localhost:sunrpc (LISTEN)

while statd wants to use IPv6:

socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 10
setsockopt(10, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY, [1], 4) = 0
getsockname(10, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(0), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, [28]) = 0
getsockopt(10, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TYPE, [1], [4]) = 0
getsockname(10, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(0), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, [28]) = 0
bind(10, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(764), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = 0
setsockopt(10, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, ~[RTMIN RT_1], [], 8) = 0
getpeername(10, 0x7fffb761d340, [128])  = -1 ENOTCONN (Transport endpoint is not connected)
connect(10, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(111), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
