Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.8.1.dfsg-1.1 I was updating an old system from bind 8, and there was no existing pid file in /var/run.
Thus, postinst failed: Installing new version of config file /etc/bind/db.root ... Installing new version of config file /etc/bind/db.local ... Adding group `bind' (GID 101) ... Done. Adding system user `bind' (UID 101) ... Adding new user `bind' (UID 101) with group `bind' ... Not creating home directory `/var/cache/bind'. wrote key file "/etc/bind/rndc.key" NOT updating named.conf.options to include DNSSEC enablement # chgrp: cannot access `/var/run/named': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing bind9 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 The fix is simple and obvious (touch the file in postinst), and this bug has been tagged "pending upload" since Nov. 6.
