Bit of feedback, but not much.
I had the same error-message on 2 Sid-installations, and could solve them by installing nfs-common from testing (aka Wheezy).
I can't find anything about that problem at the bug-reports: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551821
but as i don't use nfs my interest is small to search.
I set ntf-common on hold for two Sid installations.
Now i got the problem on my testing laptop too. Uff.
You found a fast solution in the meantime?
nope. I was wondering about using samba, as my needs are minimal and I only use nfs to back things up (from a laptop). Can you specify for samba the same directory as you serve up with nfs, or do you have to dismantle nfs for samba to serve the same directory? Just wondering.
It did work for me, on Testing, i unhold nfs-common and installed it from Sid, and the error is gone.
Now i will try the same on Sid. Strange.
(Btw: i don't use nfs, so for me it is rather an annoynace, and i ain't got nfs-kernel-server installed).
This ultimately works for me (finally). I had to edit my '/etc/hosts.deny' file, taking out a rule that read 'ALL: ALL'. I have a rule in '/etc/hosts.allow' that allows the share that I'm most interested in. The rule in 'hosts.deny' worked fine before though, but like I say, I may not know enough about these things to get it to work now. If I were on a big network I suspect this would not be good for security, but I'm not, I'm just trying to backup my laptop.
