Comment 3 for bug 1398508

It looks to me like this will have been fixed by one of these uploads. Can you confirm?

nfs-utils (1:1.2.8-9ubuntu6) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Revert previous upload; per upstream, rpc.idmapd is not used when the
    nfsidmap utility is available and configured for use in request-key
    upcalls. So rpc.idmapd does not need to be started on clients anymore.

nfs-utils (1:1.2.8-9ubuntu5) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Add 27-systemd-start-nfs-idmapd-also-on-clients.patch: idmapd is needed
    for clients too, so start it from nfs-client.target and stop binding to it
    in nfs-server.service. (LP: #1428961)

nfs-utils (1:1.2.8-9ubuntu4) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Add autopkgtest for installing server and client on localhost, setting up
    two exports, rebooting, and ensuring that the NFS mounts work.
  * Add 23-systemd-relax-dependencies.patch: Stop depending on basic.target in
    the daemons which still do; i. e. add DefaultDependencies=no. This makes
    it possible to run NFS during early boot, helps if you e. g. have /var
    on NFS, and avoids dependency cycles with rcS init.d scripts which depend
    on $remote_fs. (LP: #1428487)
  * Shift number prefixes of other systemd patches accordingly, and adjust
    them to the above patch.

nfs-utils (1:1.2.8-9ubuntu3) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Add 00git-start-statd-systemd.patch: Latest start-statd script from
    1.3.2 to start rpc-statd.service under systemd.
  * Add 23-systemd-pipefs_in_run.patch: systemd: Mount rpc_pipefs in /run instead of
    /var/lib/nfs/, like in the upstart units.
  * Add 24-systemd-daemon-paths.patch: Adjust program paths in systemd units.
  * debian/nfs-kernel-server.links: Add nfs-kernel-server.service alias
    symlink, to match SysV init script.
  * Add 25-systemd-server-before-client.patch: Order NFS server before client,
    to make mounting NFS shares from localhost work reliably.
  * Add debian/nfs-utils_env.sh: Translate our /etc/default files into runtime
    configuration for nfs-config.service.
  * debian/nfs-{common,kernel-server}.install: Install systemd units.
  * debian/rules: Enable/start systemd units. (LP: #1312976)
