No. Could it be that when I ran "up2date -i caching-nameserver" and the "bind" package was added automatically by up2date ("bind" wasn't installed before hand) but up2date actually installed the "caching-nameserver" package before the "bind" package and it's the "caching-nameserver" package complaining because the "bind" package hasn't added the "named" user id yet?
If that happens, that's an up2date bug.
Well I tested it and that's the case.

depends on #84891, but that has been fixed, so this is going to modified
verified to work with up2date-3.1.23-1 resolving bug.
