Greetings,
the "t" in my apt commands is so from attempting to get the testing
version of these packages. I've attempted to install nfs* pkgs from both
stable and testing with the same post-install errors.
There appears to be a problem connecting to RPC services.
I've done the following ~before~ posting to the list:
1. Attempted to install stable version of nfs-user-server.
Result: error as before
2. Purged above package and attempted install of nfs-kernel-server.
Result: same error
3. Purged all nfs-common, nfs-*-server, and portmap, then attempted
fresh install.
Result: same error
4. Step 3 repeated but attempting testing versions.
Result: same error
A bit of a patter developing.
I've also disabled portsentry while installing -- thinking that it was
interfering in the process.
At this point all I can think of is that my ~limited~ ipchains rules are
somehow interfering (although they shouldn't as I have unrestricted
traffic on the lo interface).
Still looking for advice, pointers, fm's, etc.
Thanks anyway,
C-Cose
