I upgraded from bind v4 to bind v8 with bind-8.2.2_P3-1. This package has an postinstall script which seems to be supposed to create a named.conf from a named.boot if it doesn't already exist. That applies to me. The script fails, though, since it looks for an executable perl script /usr/doc/bind-8.2.2_P3/named-bootconf.pl But there isn't any such script. Instead there is a /usr/doc/bind-8.2.2_P3/named-bootconf/Grot/named-bootconf.pl which, by the way, is not executable. (But when I ran this "by hand" it did the job nicely.)
Thanks, fixed.
