Hi, I just upgraded fron Devuan ascii to beowulf with the server running bind9 in a chroot environment and bind would not start.
_This was the relevant error in /var/log/daemon.log_
Jul 5 23:36:43 bind9-server-name named[6476]: *could not configure root
hints from '/usr/share/dns/root.hints': file not found*
Jul 5 23:36:43 bind9-server-name named[6476]: *loading configuration: file
not found*
Jul 5 23:36:43 bind9-server-name named[6476]: *exiting (due to fatal
error)*
_Fixed as follows:_
# mkdir -p /var/lib/named/usr/share/dns
# cp -pv /usr/share/dns/* /var/lib/named/usr/share/dns/
_NB: No upgrade changes were made to any config file including the
/etc/default/bind9 file below._
# cat /etc/default/bind9
# Set RESOLVCONF=no to not run resolvconf
RESOLVCONF=yes
# startup options for the server
#OPTIONS="-u bind"
# Added -t ... for running of bind9 in a chroot environment
#OPTIONS="-u bind -t /var/lib/named"
# Added -4 to foce IPV4 lookups only
OPTIONS="-u bind -4 -t /var/lib/named"
### NB: This symbolic link is needed for the chroot environment too
# (without needing to change /etc/init.d/bind9 file)
#
# cd /run/named
# ln -s /var/lib/named/run/named/named.pid .
Kind Regards
