[Bug 1703076] [NEW] 5555"nfs-common has no init.d file-mount is denied by server during mount-nfs-kernel-server necessary to operate package nfs-common-nfs-kernel-server does not setup"package nfs-kernel-server 1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Jonathan Engwall]

Public bug reported:

My "server" is a poweredge 1435 but it serves as a node to my "master" which is a biostar +6.
This is a MPICH at-home project that is proceeding nicely.
Mounting to the shared directory is necessary for a shared machinefile in the mount directory.
This file identifies hosts, networks, and the number of cores available.
Mounting to the /var/nfs/ is vital.
My problems began when it seemed that my nfs-common was idle. It seems to not exist.
The nfs-daemon itself has never started.
The command iptables -L -n showed policies are to accept

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
