Hi Rainer,
Doesn't that mean that best practice would be to just ditch "net-dns/ bind-tools" and solely install "net-dns/bind" instead? At least up to now the latter _also_ provides "nslookup" and "dig".
That is correct. The package now even says as much (since about 12 hours ago!): > net-dns/bind-tools is now merged into net-dns/bind and > net-dns/bind-tools serves as a dummy package until it is > eventually removed. The split was already a maintenance burden > because of lack of build system support for it, but this became > more severe with >=9.18.0. > > Please run the following commands: > * emerge --deselect net-dns/bind-tools > * emerge --noreplace net-dns/bind Regards, Matt
