The error in the logs is:

Setting up nfs-common (1:1.2.5-3ubuntu3.1) ...
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript statd, action "restart" failed.
dpkg: error processing nfs-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Please attach the file /var/log/upstart/statd.log from this system. (Note that this file is only readable by root, so you will need to change permissions on it to be able to attach it.)
