LMDE-201204 portmap/NFS-common incompatibility <SOLVED>

[fixus971]

Hi, I found one problem in new LMDE2012 regarding NFS repository.
I have to connect to server disks via NFS and usually I have to install NFS-Common
but now Synaptic tell me that it wants to uninstall "portmap".
I see somewhere that portmap have is internal NFS system but don't run from fstab/mount and I cant found other info.

In other forum I found someone that found an incompatibility between packets/repo:

The problem is that nfs-common has been updated in the backports repo, but portmap has not, and the new nfs-common and old portmap are not compatible. So to install it either disable backports, or use force version to install the previous version of nfs-common.
(from: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic ... l-failure/)

I have a fresh LMDE2012 and don't make strange configuration at the moment.

I hope that you can send me on correct way. Thanks -Fixus971

I get problem on LMDE Pack4 2012 64-bit of Linux Mint with Cinnamon.
After a fresh install I can't connect to my server by NFS.
Usually I install nfs-common but today Synaptic tell me that I have to purge portmap packet.

OkOk ZeroZero
The problem was that I see "portmap" installed by default and see that it is used in same forum.
Now I installed as usually and all run well.
"portmap" was auto-replaced by other service in LMDE:
"Note, selecting 'rpcbind' instead of 'portmap'"
Thanks

yeahh, we should always look closely at the output that the terminal shows us
this was the clue

~$ sudo apt-get install portmap
