Bug#562910:

[Johannes Matheis]

This is caused because portmap (6.0.0-1) is just listening on the IPv4 loopback address:

# netstat -tulpen|grep portmap






This can be easily confirmed several ways:

Remove IPv6 loopback interface:
# ifconfig lo inet6 del ::1
and it will start.



If you run rpc.mountd with strace, look out for indications like AF_INET6.

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 13538 5248/portmap udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* 0 13537 5248/portmap mountd tries to connect to the IPv6 loopback address ::1 (if there is one) and fails. Use rpcbind (0.2.0-2) instead of portmap. It will also listen on IPv6 (but, i. e. nis depends on portmap) and mountd will start again.
