Public bug reported: Was doing a routine update and bind9 failed to installed, couldn't write the /var/cache/bind directory. This machine was Trusty, then Xenial, Bionic and now Cosmic. So could be related to a do-release-upgrade process as I've used bind for development and testing for a long time now.
Here's my history, where it bombed and I ran update-grub, then change ownership and set file permissions, then tried to re-install the broken update, which seems to have worked, but the logs were still kept and submitted, thanks Launchpad :) 26194 2019-06-22 05:06:17 sudo apt-get update 26195 2019-06-22 05:07:05 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade *** Here is breaks... Cannot write... /var/cache/bind and worse the initram-fs process failed, so I saved myself... 26196 2019-06-22 05:08:45 sudo update-grub 26197 2019-06-22 05:09:55 sudo chown root.bind /var/cache/bind 26198 2019-06-22 05:10:05 sudo chmod 775 /var/cache/bind 26199 2019-06-22 05:10:15 sudo service bind restart 26200 2019-06-22 05:10:21 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 26201 2019-06-22 05:10:45 sudo service bind9 restart 26202 2019-06-22 05:10:48 sudo service bind9 status 26203 2019-06-22 05:10:58 sudo service bind9 stop 26204 2019-06-22 05:11:22 sudo update-grub 26205 2019-06-22 05:11:27 sudo updatedb 26206 2019-06-22 05:19:45 sudo reboot * Here's where system rebooted and I'll filed this report.
