hello, net-fs/nfs-utils and sys-fs/quota depend on net-nds/portmap. Also there is a more recent version ebuild net-nds/rpcbind that provides portmap features as well. IMHO we need a need virtual ebuild for portmap or rpcbind. Reproducible: Always
actually validate rpcbind works on misc arch first ... the init.d scripts also need to get reviewed
(In reply to comment #1) > actually validate rpcbind works on misc arch first ... the init.d scripts also > need to get reviewed > Thanks to take care of that problem. Anyway the key word "provided portmap" works quite well with baselayout 1.x and nfs, rpc.stat, etc. daemons. I'm using a x86_64 platform. Like workaround, I added net-nds/portmap-6.0 in package.provided file and upgraded to net-nds/rpcbind-0.1.5 and net-libs/libtirpc-0.1.9
Please consider to reopen this bug as libtirpc and rpcbind are necessary for NFS over IPv6.

I'm not sure if this is 100% related, but I had both portmap and rpcbind installed at the same time and ypbind would not start without trying to start portmap first, even though rpcbind was already started. The fix was to un-install portmap or move /etc/init.d/portmap. Of course, if I 'emerge -C portmap' ever tyime I 'emerge world -uDN' it wants to install portmap. 'equery d portmap' returns nfs-utils and ypbind.
