How > do I find out why? Alternately, how do I fix it? What is the output of this command? apt-cache policy bind9-host I am guessing that there are multiple sources for bind9-host. They are different. You are alternately installing first one and then the other. I have seen this behavior from apt with other packages with that problem. A local rebuild in a local depot was my problem. What is the output of this command? apt-get install --print-uris -d -y -qq bind9-host |awk '{print$1}' |xargs -l I am guessing that as you install first one and then the other that the URL printed will be changing from one location to the next.
