Package: dnscache Version: 1:1.05-13 Severity: normal Tags: newcomer patch X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, Looking at the source for this Debian packaged djbdns I notice that the list of DNS root servers (or at least their IPv4 addresses) is outdated; this is used by dnscache, so whenever dnscache attempts to use an obsolete root server the performance of dnscache will be affected (although I expect this just means a short timeout before moving onto another one). Several of the listed server addresses are obsolete. The current list of DNS root servers is found at, https://www.iana.org/domains/root/servers so just updating the dnsroots.global file to reflect the newer [IPv4] addresses should bring the package up to date. Here's the patch against the current version (named.root 2021092301) to do this, --- dnsroots.global 2019-06-08 13:29:57.000000000 +0100 +++ dnsroots.global.new 2021-10-13 13:56:07.628385037 +0100 @@ -1,13 +1,13 @@ 198.41.0.4 -128.9.0.107 +199.9.14.201 192.33.4.12 -128.8.10.90 +199.7.91.13 192.203.230.10 192.5.5.241 192.112.36.4 -128.63.2.53 +198.97.190.53 192.36.148.17 -198.41.0.10 +192.58.128.30 193.0.14.129 -198.32.64.12 +199.7.83.42 alternatively just replace dnsroots.global with the newer version, 198.41.0.4 199.9.14.201 192.33.4.12 199.7.91.13 192.203.230.10 192.5.5.241 192.112.36.4 198.97.190.53 192.36.148.17 192.58.128.30 193.0.14.129 199.7.83.42 202.12.27.33 I'd appreciate if someone else could actually upload this etc to update the package since I'm not that familiar with Debian package maintenance. Kind regards, Andrew Richards. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dnscache depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.60 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2 ii runit-helper 2.10.3 pn sysuser-helper <none> Versions of packages dnscache recommends: pn daemon <none> pn runit <none> dnscache suggests no packages.
