portmap 6.0-0

# uname -r
2.6.20-grml

nfs-common 1:1.1.0-6

After reboot portmap gets started automatically.

# ps ax | grep portmap
4409 ?        Ss     0:00 /sbin/portmap -i 127.0.0.1

If I try to start nfs-common:

# Restart nfs-common
Stopping NFS common utilities: idmapd statd.
Starting NFS common utilities: statd

At this point there is a delay of about 3 min till I get a new prompt.

If I do a:

# ps ax | grep statd

I see no rpc.statd or somthing like that.


I don't think it's the same problem as in bug #432511 because I cannot
restart nfs-common.
