Hi Jani,

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

The mount command now works.

Thanks very much for the quick responses!

Does /etc/apt/sources.list have

line? Also, if 'apt-get update' complains about not being able to fetch
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)
