I'm having numerous problems installing the -proposed package on Lucid.
Sometimes the upgrade succeeds, sometimes it fails. I haven't been able
to figure out why yet (I think I'm starting from the same state each
time, but maybe there's a file somewhere I'm not considering).
If the package upgrade WORKS:
1) I get the following output:
Preparing to replace nis 3.17-31 (using
.../nis_3.17-31ubuntu0.10.04.3_i386.deb) ...

Setting up nis (3.17-31ubuntu0.10.04.3) ...
ypbind start/running, process 18583
ypserv stop/pre-start, process 18612
2) There are several upstart jobs installed in /etc/init: start-ypbind.conf,
yppasswd.conf, ypserv.conf, ypxferd.conf
3) Reverting the package to the older version leaves behind the
/etc/init/*yp*.conf scripts behind
If the package upgrade FAILS:
1) I get the following output:

A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

2) Only one upstart jobs is installed in /etc/init: ypbind.conf
3) When I tell aptitude to revert back to the older NIS package, it
leaves /etc/init/ypbind.conf behind
In BOTH cases, after a server reboot, NIS doesn't come up correctly.
I was able to get it working by installing (so it fails) moving the
ypbind.conf file to /tmp, reverting/installing again (so it succeeds)
and then moving ypbind.conf back to /etc/init. Then after a reboot it
worked.
