Public bug reported:
After upgrading in place servers which are NIS clients from ubuntu-mate
18.04 to ubuntu-mate 18.10, nis will not start upon boot. systemctl
enable nis and systemctl start nis will not start nis. However, purging
and then re-installing fixes. I.e. Save NIS conf file, cp /etc/yp.conf
/etc/yp.save; apt purge nis; apt install nis; cp /etc/yp.save
/etc/yp.conf; systemctl enable nis, systemctl start nis; now it works
and will start properly after a reboot. This may seem trivial but it
seriously broke many services for my customers until I figured it out.
