Although not a serious problem, admins running LTS releases could be waiting a long time for the packages to include the correct IPv4 D root server.
I asked LaMont Jones, one of the Debian bind9 maintainers, about this D root change issue and he said: It's fixed in 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-2, and will be in 9.9.2 when it makes it into sid. I have brought up the issue with the Ubuntu Server Team, see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- server/2013-January/thread.html#6469. I have manually updated the bind9 servers I run, in case someone wants to know how... # wget http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root # cat named.root > /etc/bind/db.root # service bind9 restart -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090593 Title: D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET changing January 3rd 2013 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1090593/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
