Package: pdns-server Version: 4.0.3-1+deb9u2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
PDNS makes regular security status polls by querying a DNS server (see also https://blog.powerdns.com/2014/10/22/powerdns-security-status-polling/) However on stable the correct versions/domains are not present in the host file (see https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/blob/master/docs/secpoll.zone), resulting in half-hourly errors: Mar 12 05:45:07 Could not retrieve security status update for '4.0.3-1+deb9u2.Debian' on 'auth-4.0.3-1_deb9u2.Debian.security-status.secpoll.powerdns.com.', RCODE = Non-Existent domain I can query the standard domains, e.g. dig auth-4.0.3-1.Debian.security-status.secpoll.powerdns.com. -t TXT gives a response. (Although, it reports that this particular version is unsafe, presumably the deb9u2 version has the correct patches applied.) I do see very debian specific version numbers in the host file, e.g., auth-3.4.1-4_deb8u7.debian.security-status, so it seems to be a matter of letting upstream know about the stable version numbers.
