This is looking like the problem that I observed when libc6 was
upgraded in testing a few weeks ago.
IIRC, You could connect to the portmapper & nfs ports
("rpcinfo -u localhost portmapper" worked) but not any of the
yp ports. The bugfix (applied about a week later) was a recompile
of the nis binaries.
Hmmm...
Try this (as root for all):
* Add the following to your "/etc/apt/sources.list":
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
* make sure that you have libgdbmg1-dev installed.
* then do (in some directory in which you don't mind a build tree):
apt-get source --compile nis
* then install/try the resulting deb.
