From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050921 Red Hat/1.0.7-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: When I removed bind-chroot RPM, the server failed to restart. There was nothing in the logs, so I needed to dig around. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-9.2.4-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install all bind-related packages 2.Remove bind-chroot rpm 3. Try restarting bind (additional step) Actual Results: After step #2, /etc/sysconfig/named still had ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot, which prevented named to restart. When I manually commented that line, bind successfully restarted. Expected Results: ROOTDIR line in /etc/sysconfig/named needs to be removed after the uninstallation of bind-chroot packages. Additional info:
Yes, this problem has already been fixed, both with the latest bind RHEL-4 update release candidate, bind-9.2.4-16.EL4, available from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/bind/RHEL-4/9.2.4-16.EL4 , and with bind-9.3.2 for RHEL-4, available from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/bind/RHEL-4/9.3.2-1.EL4 . Hopefully, a new bind release will be in the next RHEL-4 update release that will fix this problem.
Thanks.
No one has suggested re-basing bind to fix this bug. Changing Dev NAK to Dev ACK.
