Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 Severity: wishlist This wish comes in a minimal and a maximal form.
The minimal form is to correct the documentation, which gives a little recipe for running rndc-confgen. It suggests the recipe is complete, but it is not: additional steps are required, namely setting up named.conf (better for Debian: named.conf.local). This is closely related to bugs 169577 and 177960. It has some relation to 282423. In particular, note that failure to have keys properly setup results in /etc/init.d/bind9 stop failing (among other problems). At least a warning would be useful. I think some other docs (upstream or howto's) also give the impression that rndc-confgen alone will fix things up, though I can't find those other passages. The maximal form of the wish is to provide a tool or script that will automate the entire process. This may well not be worth the trouble, since I believe this only affects people upgrading under certain system configurations. I wasn't using any keys before; maybe if I had been this problem wouldn't have arisen. And the purge and reinstall method reported fixes things up, though if you have set things up already this seems a drastic step. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27advncdfs Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages bind9 depends on: ii adduser 3.77 Add and remove users and groups ii libbind9-0 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 BIND9 Shared Library used by BIND ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdns20 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 DNS Shared Library used by BIND ii libisc9 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 ISC Shared Library used by BIND ii libisccc0 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 Command Channel Library used by BI ii libisccfg1 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 Config File Handling Library used ii liblwres1 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 Lightweight Resolver Library used ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-3 SSL shared libraries ii netbase 4.23 Basic TCP/IP networking system bind9 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
