Package: portmap Version: 6.0-7 Severity: normal During my most recent aptitude upgrade on testing the terminal shows

I'm not sure what it means or if it's a bug, but it looks as if something has gone wrong. The README mentions some potential problems with fam, but I have not upgraded it or manually messed with it recently. These syslog entries may be relevant: Oct 31 21:12:19 corn portmap: Removing stale lockfile for pid 3210 Oct 31 21:12:19 corn portmap[6725]: cannot bind tcp: Address already in use netstat -nle does not seem to show anything listening on port 111, which I think /etc/services designates as the portmap port. So I'm not sure what the problem is. Perhaps it's some subtlety of an upgrade which involves switching how the pid of the portmap process is identified? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages portmap depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip portmap recommends no packages. portmap suggests no packages. -- debconf information: portmap/loopback: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
