Already in openSUSE 12.1 the fam service does not work. This remains the same in 12.2. The family of courier packages depends on this service. The alternative is to use dovecot, which does not need the fam service.
Is there a bug report about fam?
So I propose to drop the family of courier and fam packages from the openSUSE distribution.
Sure, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719686
Well, if you refuse to start portmapper/rpcbind as suggested by coolo in comment 6 and the service needs it, I am not certain how you can reasonably expect that the service should work without it. Later (comment 11) Andreas indicates that things work just fine when portmapper is running.
You may be able to make an argument that fam should be dropped for lack of maintainer ship, but are we certain the fam maintainer knows about this bug?
Don't argue that it should be removed because it's not working when it has been shown in the bug report that indeed it does work.
I am very sorry. I completely forgot about the need to start rpcbind. In 11.4 fam starts without rpcbind. From 12.1 on it needs rpcbind and I forgot about it. Just tested it in 12.2RC1 and now fam starts when rpcbind is started.
Great, any chance you can update the bug report and just state that the fam init script should require rpcbind?
