Package: rpcbind
Version: 0.2.0-6
Followup-For: Bug #639849

I cam across this bug while tracking startup errors on my machine, so I
guess it's the same thing as the original reporter wanted to point out.

By default rpcbind starts with the '-w' parameter, which makes it do a "warm
start" by loading its statefile from /var/run/rpcbind. Since on my Wheezy
machine /var/run is a symlink to /run which is a tmpfs, there is no
statefile to be found.

The temporary fix I made is I created an /etc/default/rpcbind file where i
overrode the OPTIONS variable to "" (since I assume i'll never need warm
restarts).

For a proper fix I'd guess that the initscript should remove '-w' from the
OPTIONS var if STATEDIR didn't exist (or lose the -w from the defaults
altogether and ship an appropriately commented conf file for those who need
it).

Thanks.
