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).
