Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.6.1.dfsg.P1-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
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 many packaged being upgraded or 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. this is a repeat of an earlier bug (#453765), which was reported in Dec 2007 and fixed in June 2008. It has come back. see also bug #471060 (debhelper, reported Mar 2008, fixed May 2008). a '--restart-after-upgrade' option was added to dh_installinit to provide a fix this behaviour. There was some suggestion that this might become the default behaviour but it looks like that hasn't happened. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.4 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bind9 depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups pn bind9utils <none> (no description available) ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy pn libbind9-50 <none> (no description available) ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap2 1:2.16-5 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdb4.7 4.7.25-7 Berkeley v4.7 Database Libraries [ pn libdns50 <none> (no description available) ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.7dfsg~beta3-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k pn libisc50 <none> (no description available) pn libisccc50 <none> (no description available) pn libisccfg50 <none> (no description available) ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-1 OpenLDAP libraries pn liblwres50 <none> (no description available) ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-4 SSL shared libraries pn libxml2 <none> (no description available) ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii netbase 4.37 Basic TCP/IP networking system bind9 recommends no packages.
