Errors were encountered while processing: bind9

So I have a properly running system with no errors so far, and I ran the package update.
I do not understand why this has only now happened.

Installing package(s) with command apt-get -y install awstats …

Setting up bind9 (1:9.4.2.dfsg.P2-2ubuntu0.6) …

Configuration file `/etc/bind/named.conf.local’
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer’s version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.

Howdy,

Try running that update from the command line as root, by typing “apt-get upgrade”. When you receive the prompt, choose “N” to keep your existing config file.

You definitely don’t want it to overwrite what you have there, that would cause trouble :slight_smile:
