Hi Darren,

Thank you, that's fixed it. I'm not sure why I didn't spot that blindingly 
obvious error message pointing me to the exact line in my logging configuration 
file! I've REM'd out that line (prefixed with '//') and the upgrade progressed 
successfully. Obviously something's changed in 9.19.12 and up.

For info the source of my logging file is this, and it's what I've been using 
for quite a few years now. But I don't actively review that specific log file 
so I haven't lost anything by removing that statement.

It was indeed this line that caused all the problems, REM'ing it out has fixed 
it:

category delegation-only { auth_servers_log; default_debug; };

Thanks again for your help Darren, 

Richard.

Hi Richard,

It looks like you have an error in the configuration file 
/etc/bind/named.conf.logging on line 147:

Jul 10 19:49:07 flons3 named[1140]: /etc/bind/named.conf.logging:147:
undefined category: 'delegation-only'
Jul 10 19:49:07 flons3 named[1140]: loading configuration: failure

I assume this is an included file that has your logging configuration?

It would be helpful to see the named configuration.  You can get that with 
named-checkconf -px which will hide any keys and pull in any includes.

Thank you,

Darren Ankney
