Bug Description

Binary package hint: bind9

When doing a server upgrade with all server tasks installed I get a .dpkg-dist file in /etc/default/bind9.dpkg-dist. This causes the auto-upgrade-tester to assume its a leftover conffile. When I diff the bind9 and bind9.dpkg-dist files they are the same.

It turns out that:
 /usr/share/bind9/bind9-default.md5sum
is different from
 /etc/default/bind9
and this cause the postinst script to write a dpkg-dist file.

But it gets stranger, when I tried to track this, I logged into a clean karmic chroot and ran:
# apt-get install bind9
# cd /
# md5sum -c --quiet /var/lib/dpkg/info/bind9.md5sums
usr/share/bind9/bind9-default.md5sum: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 32 computed checksums did NOT match

?!?

The same md5sum error is produced in lucid for me (in a clean chroot).

summary: - conffile prompt on 9.10 -> 10.04
+ leftover /etc/init.d/bind9.dpkg-dist on 9.10 -> 10.04

I uploaded a fix for this now into natty, its just:

--- bind9-9.7.3.dfsg/debian/bind9-default.md5sum
+++ bind9-9.7.3.dfsg/debian/bind9-default.md5sum
@@ -1 +1 @@
-1229a956d3c6ca11fa344d69f082d7ca /etc/default/bind9
+2cfcfb7bf1b99c7930fd475907e38be7 /etc/default/bind9

so the default md5sum is out of date.
