Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
This is a bug in the installation script of the bind9 package.
* What led up to the situation?
I run bind as the bind user. Upon a new install, using my previous
server's config files, I was unable to successfully start the daemon.
The error message cited an inability to write a file to /var/cache/bind.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I changed the ownership of /var/cach/bind to bind:bind. As installed it
was owned by root:root. The package installation script needs to set the
ownership to bind:bind.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The daemon started successfully.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
