 Any idea regarding which Alpine Linux package provides the
 `<rpc/rpc.h>', `<rpcsvc/yp_prot.h>', `<rpcsvc/ypclnt.h>' header
 files and possible related libraries?
 
 In pkgsrc/lang/python37 the relevant part that handles that are:
 
  | .  if ${OPSYS} != "NetBSD" || exists(/usr/bin/ypcat)
  | .    if "${OS_VARIANT}" != "chromeos"
  | PLIST.nis=      yes
  | .    endif
  | .  else
  | PLIST.no-nis=   yes
  | .  endif
  | .endif
