Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
it would be nice to have the following feature available, so please
compile Bind9 against libxml2:
<quote>
The statistics-channels statement declares communication channels to
be used by system administrators to get access to statistics
information of the name server.

Thank you!
KR,

Hi, Ralf:
The bind9 package has been built against libxml2-dev for a long time,
going back to 2008:
bind9 (1:9.5.0.dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low
[LaMont Jones]
* manpages: fix references that should say /etc/bind
* meta: build-depend libxml2-dev for statistics support
-- LaMont Jones <[email protected]> Sat, 31 May 2008 12:17:21 -0600
However, an upstream bug (ISC-Bugs #32231) broke support for libxml2 >= 2.9,
which was fixed in 9.9.3b1:
--- 9.9.3b1 released ---
3447. [port] Add support for libxml2-2.9.x [RT #32231]
Since the bind9 package isn't built with an explicit "--with-libxml2"
argument to the configure script, the build system automatically enables
or disables support silently, so a few binaries may have been built
without statistics support.
The specific binary you reported this bug against is available from
snapshot.debian.org [0], and according to the control information file
in that binary package, the resulting binary did not have a dependency
on libxml2:
Depends: libbind9-80 (= 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3), libc6 (>= 2.14), libcap2 (>=
2.10), libcomerr2 (>= 1.01), libdns88 (= 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3),
libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libisc84 (= 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3),
libisccc80 (= 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3), libisccfg82 (= 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3),
libk5crypto3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libkrb5-3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), liblwres80 (=
1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3), libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0), debconf (>= 0.5) |
debconf-2.0, netbase, adduser, lsb-base (>= 3.2-14), bind9utils (=
1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3), net-tools
However, it looks like none of the bind9 binary packages in the Debian
archive in the oldstable, stable, testing, and unstable suites are
currently affected by this upstream bug, so I'm closing this bug.
Thanks for the report!
