Comment 5 for bug 1323648

I've just done a fresh install of 14.04.1, and after installing nfs-common had the same problem : I couldn't start rpcbind. it's started correctly on boot, but I cannot control the service.

root@junpei:/home/peter# ps auwx | grep rpcbind | grep -v grep
root 606 0.0 0.0 23420 1116 ? Ss 11:32 0:00 rpcbind
root@junpei:/home/peter# status rpcbind
status: Unknown job: rpcbind
root@junpei:/home/peter# service rpcbind restart
stop: Unknown job: rpcbind
start: Unknown job: rpcbind

and init-checkconf behaves erratically :

root@junpei:/etc/init# init-checkconf rpcbind.conf
File rpcbind.conf: syntax ok
root@junpei:/etc/init# init-checkconf rpcbind.conf
ERROR: File rpcbind.conf: syntax invalid:
root@junpei:/etc/init# init-checkconf rpcbind.conf
File rpcbind.conf: syntax ok
