Package: nsd
Version: 4.1.26
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
when upgrading to debian 10, apt fails to upgrade nsd with the following
error message:

$ dpkg --configure -a
nsd (4.1.26-1) wird eingerichtet ...
[....] Restarting Name Server Daemon: nsd[2019-07-13 21:29:55.066]
nsd[11523]: notice: nsd starting (NSD 4.1.26)
[2019-07-13 21:29:55.073] nsd[11523]: error: Error for server-cert-file:

[2019-07-13 21:29:55.074] nsd[11523]: error: could not perform remote
control setup
 failed!

Removing the old key and manually running nsd-control-setup regenerates
the key, but the new key is a 3k key just like the old one. I needed to
edit the script to generate a 4k key, otherwise nsd did not start.
This is a serious bug, as it renders the DNS server unusable until you
edit the control script and manually generate valid keys.

(No package information included beside the version 4.1.26, because I am
writing from another system)


with kind regards,
Alex
