Lfd on server: System Integrity checking detected a modified system file

Webmin

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Ubuntu 22.04.04
Webmin version 2.202

Following the latest update for Bind9 to the latest version I got this error:

"The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparison test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:

/usr/bin/arpaname: FAILED"

I updated the Bind9 release using Virtualmin, I doubt this is in any way related to Virtualmin (then why you post here you may ask …) but may be related to lfd ?

Info:
I do not use DNS on my server (only have external DNS) so any attempt to restart it may have failed.
lfd at release 14.22
Bind updated to 9.18.30

Any pointers or things worth checking ?

Thanks
Roberto

If you updated BIND, you should expect the files in the BIND package to change. That’s what updates do.

Sure, that makes sense, but I have updated tons of packages and it is the first time I get this warning from lfd. Maybe lfd is not monitoring changes in all packages or why don’t I get the same warning on other updates ?

I don’t know. I don’t work on lfd and I have no experience with it.
