Comment 2 for bug 1873166

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This does sound like a good idea. It does seem like a fair bit of work though, as we'd have to implement, ask Debian to take the patch or maintain a delta in Ubuntu indefinitely, etc. For the gain - particularly because check_rpc is in monitoring-plugins which is in universe - I'm not prioritising this for the Canonical Server Team to look at for now.

If someone would like to address this, the most effectively way would probably be to coordinate directly with the Debian maintainers of rpcbind and send them patches as appropriate.
