[Bug 121247] kdebase needs nfs-common in some cases

[mortenkjeldgaard]

Public bug reported:

This bug is already attached to autofs (#80757), but since it six months
old  and nothing has been done about it, I file it under kdebase, since
it also affects KDE.

I installed Ubuntu on a computer today. We tested Gnome, which worked
fine. Then we wanted to test KDE, which strangely did NOT work. The
symptom was that KDE hung just after the password was entered in gdm.
I've spent five hours today to hunt down the problem, and the hung KDE
has been described several times (Google) but no solution apparently
found.

I found out that KDE works fine with a _local_ user, but when testing
with a user with root dir on an automounted disk, the problem would
occur. I was baffled, since I have another machine with Kubuntu
installed, which does not exhibit this problem.

I finally realized that there was no lockd and statd daemons running.
After I installed nfs-common, the problem disappeared.

Obviously, somewhere along the line of the installation, nfs-common
should have been pulled in. Most logically by autofs.
