That was the problem. It only had "precise universe" for that line. I added "main" and that fixed the probem.
bruker@photontest-1:/etc/apt$ diff -U3 sources.list.orig sources.list

deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main

The mount command now works.
Thanks very much for the quick responses!

something, that may be the reason why 'apt-get install' fails.
nfs-common and portmap are probably the right package names
(https://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/allpackages)
