This is often forgotten, leading to multiple repeated bugs against src:bind-dyndb-ldap. The fix for now is to rebuild src:bind-dyndb-ldap, and to avoid it from happening again, add a DEP8 test to it so that a src:bind9 update won't be released without this rebuild. Ideally this coupling shouldn't be that tight, and some ideas are floating around (see [1], [2], and [3]). But for now, I think this is the quickest way to avoid hitting this problem again in the near future. 1. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1014503 2. https://pagure.io/bind-dyndb-ldap/issue/225 3. https://salsa.debian.org/dns-team/bind9/-/merge_requests/21 [ Test Plan ] The fix is to rebuild the src:bind-dyndb-ldap package with the current src:bind9 in the archive for the affected ubuntu release. With the build succeeding, and the dyndb-ldap DEP8 test also passing, the verification can be considered successfull. [ Where problems could occur ] With this new DEP8 change, a bind9 update can be blocked by a bind- dyndb-ldap failure to build or run with it. While this is exactly the intent (not leave a broken bind-dyndb-ldap package in the release), there is a history indicating that bind- dyndb-ldap can be late in catching up to bind9 changes. We may reach a situation where an important bind9 security update, for example, will be blocked by a failing dyndb-ldap test, and it may be difficult to fix bind-dyndb-ldap in time, specially if the security update is under embargo and the bind-dyndb-ldap developers do not yet have details of the changes. [ Other Info ] See also bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind-dyndb-ldap/+bug/2032650 which adds the same test to the src:bind9 package.
