Comment 18 for bug 1971935

You're correct. If I install nfs-common manually it will automatically start run-rpc_pipefs.mount and the mount point exists. I'm not sure what is happening.

I did some additional testing and we're not directly installing nfs-common but installing autofs which pulls in nfs-common. After I had tested this I did `apt-get purge autofs nfs-common` and did `apt-get install autofs` and run-rpc_pipefs.mount is not automatically started. This could of course be because it was installed and then purged which caused some issue. I'll reinstall the system again and try installing autofs and see what happens.
