Same problem here. Had to add the creation of /var/run/nscd to a local start script. In /etc/init.d/nscd, I replaced
$DAEMON --invalidate with $DAEMON --invalidate passwd $DAEMON --invalidate group $DAEMON --invalidate hosts to get past the restart problem. -- Fails to start (option '--invalidate' requires an argument) https://launchpad.net/bugs/59046 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
