That's an unrelated issue. Note that as of version 1:1.2.8-5, by default nfs-common looks for rpc_pipefs under /run, not in /var/lib. You may need to update your locally-modified /etc/idmapd.conf, to pick up this new default, since /etc/init.d/nfs-common will no longer mount /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs for you. (And manually creating the directory may let the package upgrade, but will not give the correct behavior since this must be a mountpoint, not a directory.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
