Bug Description
[Impact]
A missing replaces: from rpcbind against the version of libc-bin in 12.04 means that upgrades may fail if libc-bin and rpcbind aren't unpacked in the "right" order.
[Test case]
1. On 12.04, apt-get install rpcbind
2. Update /etc/apt/
2. apt-get install rpcbind
3. confirm that the upgrade fails due to rpcbind being unpacked before libc-bin is upgraded.
4. enable trusty-proposed in sources.list.
6. apt-get install rpcbind
7. confirm that the package install completes successfully
8. confirm that apt-get dist-upgrade completes successfully
[Regression potential]
Any changes to the package relationships may have an unforeseen detrimental impact on apt's resolver. However, these are non-trivial to find in advance and this change is locally correct with regards to package relationships.
===
Received an upgrade notice. I executed the upgrade procedures which indicated 529 packages need to be installed. Upgrade requesrted that I install the DVD. of the ISO file I had downloaded. Upgrade did not complete and failed to reboot. I had to use "recovery mode" in order to log back in. Again I received a mesage indicvating that 244 files needed to be upgrade. This attempt alos failed. Received various messages the there were dependencies issue and could not continue the upgrade

I confirm this bug in the rpcbind package.
This is an issue specific to upgrades from precise; no fix is needed for utopic. (A wrong fix is included via Debian; I have reopened Debian bug #734903 with regards to this.)
