In any case, I thank to both for a useful result! Though somewhat strange, tdm-trinity fails but not its own guilty. Now at least we know what needs to treat.
I gave up finding the cause. I took a brute force approach, purged *trinity*, nfs-common, nfs-kernel-server, rpcbind, libtirpc3, rebooted, reinstalled rpcbind, nfs-kernel-server nfs-common, rebooted, reinstalled trinity. Subsequently I was able to purge inxi without getting any error messages, so I'm assuming insserv and/or rpcbind or whatever is now fixed, even though dpkg still reports 125 rc packages.
Thanks very much Mike!
