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!):

> more severe with >=9.18.0.

Regards,

Matt
