  Candidate: 0.2.3-0.2


This bug was opened on 2016-03-16 against Xenial. 
It was posted that the rpcbind package was fixed on 2016-06-01. 
It is now 2018-07-12 and the package is still not in the repositories. 
Is rpcbind (0.2.3-0.4) really not going to be introduced into the repositories for the LTS it affects? Is this not the type of change an LTS branch is expected to receive?

  rpcbind does not start on boot, tried various systemd debugging steps
  with no clues. After boot systemctl start rpcbind works. There is  a
  /etc/init.d/rpcbind and a /lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.service config
  files which is confusing.
