Thanks for the info Michael, without steps to reproduce I see two paths from here.
## #1 trying different versions As Paride asked it might be worth to check different versions. There is no super-convenient way to downgrade bind9 You can add all of Bionics (or any other release in between cosmic, disco, eoan) to apt like: root@f:~# cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bionic.list root@f:~# vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bionic.list # herein replace all "focal" with bionic root@f:~# apt update root@f:~# apt-cache policy bind9 bind9: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.9 Version table: 1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.9 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security/main amd64 Packages 1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 1:9.11.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1.16 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages 1:9.11.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages # A downgrade to bionics 9.11.3 would then be: root@f:~# v=1:9.11.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1.16; apt install bind9=$v bind9utils=$v # Warning, this might mess up your dependencies and installed packages, I'd recommend doing this on a test system or with a full backup to restore after testing. ## #2 Full debugging As you report that your offsets seem to be reliable aou could try to attach a full crash of bind9 if it generates one. So if there is /var/crash/...bind9...crash then try running $ sudo apport-collect 1954854 That should attach all logs and version information. Then (if not auto-attached) add the crash file as well. We could then try to get a full gdb backtrace, maybe that indicates an obvious issue or an error known by upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1954854 Title: bind 9.16.1-ubuntu on ubuntu 20.04 randomly exits with segfault signal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1954854/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
