Bug#1040833: bind9-utils fail to install on bookworm due to dependencies

[Antoine Gatineau]

$ sudo apt-cache policy bind9-utils
bind9-utils:
  Installed: 1:9.18.12-1
  Candidate: 1:9.18.12-1
  Version table:
     1:9.18.16-1~deb12u1 500
        500 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security/main 
amd64 Packages
 *** 1:9.18.12-1 700
        700 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Note that I had first installed version 1:9.18.12-1 by disabling 
bookworm-security. Then re-enabling it after the install.
This is a fresh debian 12 install.
