Hi Jack Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in Ubuntu.
Looks like you might have a problem with your local configuration: May 23 23:56:18 Adan-Server-450 named[8715]: /etc/bind/named.conf.options:24: change directory to '/var/named' failed: file not found The stock configuration provided with the package does not use this directory (and I can't really tell which configuration option is trying to use it). Might be (as provided by the package): directory "/var/cache/bind"; Please can you try updating your configuration - you should then be able todo: sudo apt-get -f install which will then complete your installation. Marking 'Incomplete'. Please set to 'Invalid' if this resolves your issue or 'New' if you still think this is a bug.
