Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 Severity: critical Tags: security Justification: breaks unrelated software
Currently if you update your etch system, bind9 package is removed! This happened on our firewall/router/server machine, rendering DNS support for the whole network inoperable. bind9 depends on specific versions of libraries from the bind9 source package that aren't available anymore. Hence dselect and/or apt will remove it! I don't know if the newer library packages are the result of NMUs or what, but they aren't there in, say, x86_64 distribution, only i386. Here is the current Package paragraph from bind9: Package: bind9 Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 764 Maintainer: LaMont Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 1:9.3.4-2etch1 Replaces: bind, dnsutils (<< 1:9.1.0-3) Depends: libbind9-0, libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libdns22, libisc11, libisccc0, libisccfg1, liblwres9, libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1), netbase, adduser, libdns22 (= 1:9.3.4-2etch1), libisccfg1 (= 1:9.3.4-2etch1), libisc11 (= 1:9.3.4-2etch1), libisccc0 (= 1:9.3.4-2etch1), lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) but the currently available version of libdns22 is Version: 1:9.3.4-2etch2~bpo.1 so I'm out of luck trying to install bind9. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.15-c3-gbc70adfe Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages bind9 depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii libbind9-0 1:9.3.4-2etch2~bpo.1 BIND9 Shared Library used by BIND ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pn libdns20 <none> (no description available) hi libisc9 1:9.3.1-2.0.1 ISC Shared Library used by BIND ii libisccc0 1:9.3.4-2etch1 Command Channel Library used by BI ii libisccfg1 1:9.3.4-2etch2~bpo.1 Config File Handling Library used ii liblwres1 1:9.2.4-1sarge3 Lightweight Resolver Library used ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii netbase 4.29 Basic TCP/IP networking system bind9 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
