[Bug 518803] Re: package nis 3.17-25ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[matt lowy]

Hi Chuck,
 
Sorry, I forgot to put that in the case...
 
Ubuntu 9.10 with gnome / desktop  and it's got the 'nis' package on it that is
described as 'client and daemons' so it's able to be a NIS slave server. However
nothing references it so it's acting purely as a client of the site's NIS
servers.
