This reminds me (and the tile of the thread should've done so too!)
that nfs-kernel-server's not fully installed.

If "apt-get -f install" doesn't install and configure it fully,
"apt-get install --reinstall nfs-kernel-server" should.

This brings me back to my original problem:

server:~# apt-get -f install nfs-kernel-server

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
