Bug with nfs-common 1:1.2.5-4 Debian Testing



Hi. I couldn't find a debian mailing list for this so hopefully I've
got this email going to the right place/people. If not, my apologies.

I installed nfs-common on a debian testing box yesterday and got the
following error:

Setting up libgssglue1 (0.3-4) ...
Setting up libtirpc1:i386 (0.2.2-5) ...
Setting up libnfsidmap2 (0.25-2) ...
Setting up rpcbind (0.2.0-7) ...

 nfs-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
====================

Although I can mount an nfs share and seemingly access the files just
fine, I don't know what idmapd is, if it's important, or why it's
failing to start. Whatever the case, it probably needs to be fixed,
hence the reason for this report. I'm not sure what further info is
useful but here's some background on the box:

32bit debian testing
stable kernel 3.3.4
nfs client & nfs4 (with experimental 4.1 support) compiled into kernel
(not as modules)
libgssglue1 i386 0.3-4
libtirpc1 i386 0.2.2-5
libnfsidmap2 i386 0.25-2
rpcbind i386 0.2.0-7
nfs-common i386 1:1.2.5-4

Thanks for your help!
