Comment 33 for bug 213444

Same problem here,
my client is running Ubuntu 8.04.1 and using latest nfs-common package (Version: 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2).
Trying to mount a remote NFS share the system reply with this error:

#mount -a
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: System Error: Connection refused
mount.nfs: internal error

Looks like problem is related to a system update, the client was able to mount the same NFS share right after the installation.

Here are the last lines of a "strace mount -a" output:
