Bind package update to 9.9.1-0.0.P2.1pclos2012 broke DNS [SOLVED]

[janasx1]

Hi team,
I saw an update to bind and bind-utils.
I allowed synaptic to update it.

After the update, the named service failed to start and I am not able to start it manually.
The version I have now is bind-9.9.1-0.0.P2.1pclos2012.
I dont see the old version in the repository to rollback.

Please let me know if anyone else have the same problem or you need anything from the logs.

Thanks

I see that it is also not running on my machine. We can get the old package back, if necessary. But, hopefully we can fix this version as it has a security fix. I packaged it with very minor changes to the spec file, but I'm not experienced using bind, so I'll probably need some expert help figuring out what went wrong.

This is a sample from my /var/lib/named/var/log/default.log. It appears GeoIP DB's are missing, but I can't tell if that is the problem.

Thanks for the quick response Galen.

Please do let me know if you need any help from me like getting log messages etc.

Thanks

[gseaman]

Yes. Logs would be helpful. But, since I know almost nothing about bind, it would be helpful if you could look through the logs in /var/lib/named/var/log/ and see if you can find any information that might provide clues. Then, hopefully a network guru will stop in and help us sort it out. I will also look for additional information about packaging bind to see if I missed something.

Galen

[gseaman]

I fixed a couple of patches that were not applying and rebuilt it. It is a complex piece of software and will need some more testing by people that know how to use it (which is not me ). I'll post an update when it is ready.

Here is what I see. Hope this helps you.

fyi...
I am using it as a dns cache http://pclinuxoshelp.com/index.php/DNS_caching

Looks like, its failing at ...

[gseaman]

Unfortunately, all this says to me is that it failed to run a task. I'll test the rebuilt package and see if there is any change. Also, could you tell me the steps you used to set it up, so that I can repeat the same procedure. All I can remember is installing, making sure it started, then pointing firefox to use 127.0.0.1 for dns. If I am missing something, it would be helpful to know.

Galen

(Never mind the last part, I just saw the link.)

[janasx1]

Hi Galen,
Will you be able to make the the older version available for rollback?
Thanks

[gseaman]

Can you try 9.9.1-0.0.P2.2pclos2012 in testing and let me know if this works? If not, I will look at it again. If it works, I'll ask Neal to move it out of testing.

Galen

[janasx1]

Hi Galen,
Sorry for the very long delay.
I got busy with my work and personal stuff.

I tried the version bind-9.9.1-0.0.P2.2pclos2012 from testing.
Still the named service is failing to start.

Thanks
Srinivas J

[gseaman]

I will look at this again in the next couple of days. Thanks for testing.

Galen

[gseaman]

I've uploaded bind-9.9.2-1 to dropbox. I'll update this page when it reaches testing.

Galen

[janasx1]

Thanks Galen.
How can I access the dropbox and try it?
Thanks

[gseaman]

Unless Neal finds a problem building it on his system, it should be in testing soon.
