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.
