sudo apt-get install  nfs-common

"*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, 
but the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf.
The maintainer script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf, and pass it this parameter.
For now, ucf will revert to using old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!"
