Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.4.2-1
when upgrading bind9, named is stopped until the upgrade is completed.
this could be a LONG time during an apt-get {dist-,dselect-,}upgrade,
especially if there are any debconf questions waiting to be answered.
this has an obvious seriously detrimental and prolonged effect on the
entire local network which depends on that nameserver.
wouldn't it make more sense to leave named running during the upgrade
and reload or restart it in the postinst?
e.g.
# apt-get dist-upgrade
[ ... dozens of lines deleted ...]
Preparing to replace bind9 1:9.4.1-P1-4 (using
.../b/bind9/bind9_9.4.2-1_i386.deb) ...
Stopping domain name service...: bind.
Unpacking replacement bind9 ...
[... hundreds of lines deleted ...]
i got tired of waiting and ended up having to interrupt the upgrade and
run the following to get DNS working on my network again:
dpkg --configure bind9 libbind9-30 libdns32 libisc32 libisccc30 liblwres30
libisccfg30
(it took a few attempts to figure out the dependancies that also needed
to be configured)
