Groovy verification TEST A This time I followed the test from this bug exactly, without mounting an actual NFSv4 share. I'll leave that test for the bionic case. Reproducing the bug with the groovy package: ubuntu@g-gssd-restart-1928259-1927745-A:~$ apt-cache policy nfs-common nfs-common: Installed: 1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu6 Candidate: 1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu6 Version table: *** 1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu6 500 500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ubuntu@g-gssd-restart-1928259-1927745-A:~$ pidof rpc.gssd 2600 Reinstall and we get the same pid: ubuntu@g-gssd-restart-1928259-1927745-A:~$ sudo apt install --reinstall nfs-common Reading package lists...
