Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug.
I tried this by creating a fresh 11.04 container, and doing
apt-get install nis
but could reproduce no error. Could you tell us the exact command you
used, and post the contents of /var/log/dpkg.log and
/var/log/apt/term.log?
** Changed in: nis (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
