I can no longer reproduce this bug either after a reboot of my
machines. The only thing I can see that could have triggered this
issue is the recent libc6 upgrade (I upgraded libc6 from 2.33 to 2.34
on 2022-08-10, and saw the issue on the following day). Indeed, libc6
upgrades are known to break services, thus such services are restarted
automatically by the libc6 postinst script. However, dictd is not
listed:

    if [ -n "$preversion" ] && [ -x "$(command -v ischroot)" ] && ! ischroot; 
then
        if dpkg --compare-versions "$preversion" lt 2.34; then
            check="apache2.2-common apache apache-ssl apache-perl autofs at"
            check="$check boa cucipop courier-authdaemon cron cups exim"
            check="$check exim4-base dovecot-common cucipop incron lprng lpr"
            check="$check lpr-ppd mysql-server nis openbsd-inetd"
            check="$check openldapd openssh-server postgresql-common proftpd"
            check="$check postfix postfix-tls rsync samba sasl2-bin slapd"
            check="$check smail sendmail snmpd spamassassin vsftpd"
            check="$check wu-ftpd wu-ftpd-academ wwwoffle"
            check="$check webmin dropbear gdm"
            # NSS services check: 
                    echo -n "Checking for services that may need to be 
restarted..."
[...]

If dictd is expected to be restarted on major libc6 upgrade,
I suppose that this bug should be reassigned to libc6.
