The package rpcbind is available on the main repository.

You should enable the repository on your sources.list through the command:

sudo apt edit-sources

A sample sources.list (see the manpage for more details):

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates main restricted

Save then run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install rpcbind
