Bug#644236: installation fails when rpcbind is disabled, although nfs-common is disabled there too
Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.2.5-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I have found a bug on upgrading nfs-common that might be nfs-common
init script header or insserv related:
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading nfs-common when nfs-common and (!) rpcbind is disabled in
insserv.
merkaba:~> LANG=C apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
kmymoney kmymoney-common tryton-client
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Setting up nfs-common (1:1.2.5-2) ...
insserv: Service rpcbind has to be enabled to start service nfs-common
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing nfs-common (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
configured to not write apport reports
Errors were encountered while processing:
nfs-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Explicetely disabling nfs-common again does not help:
merkaba:~> insserv -r nfs-common

* What was the outcome of this action?
The installation failed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
It should have succeeded. This is on a laptop where I only use NFS
on demand. I do not want to have it running when I do not use it.
I think this is a valid usage scenario.
Thus when nfs-common *and* rpcbind are disabled in insserv installation
should still succeed.
This might be a bug in insserv. If so please reassign.
* Workaround to have apt upgrade nfs-common
Temporarily enabling both nfs-common and rpcbind lets nfs-common upgrade
smoothly:
merkaba:~#100> insserv rpcbind
merkaba:~> insserv nfs-common
merkaba:~> LANG=C apt-get upgrade

Stopping NFS common utilities: idmapd statd.
Starting NFS common utilities: statd
Not starting: portmapper is not running ... (warning).
merkaba:~> insserv -r nfs-common
merkaba:~> insserv -r rpcbind
merkaba:~>
Bug script failed due to rpcbind not running, but I do not think
it matters for this bugreport. If you want to have output of it,
please tell.
Thanks,
Martin
