I have a 64bit centos5 box - I have tried to run #yum update - however it says that is has a failed dependency for bind

Error: Missing Dependency: bind = 30:9.3.3-10.el5 is needed by package bind-chroot

an #rpm -q bind

shows this

bind-9.3.3-10.el5

I have upgraded all other packages where posssible in the meantime and I have updated to plesk 8.4

I have another identical box which is not showing this problem. Also tried

#yum clean all
#yum update

and still no joy

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

If you have bind-chroot on your system, remove it as it causes problems with Plesk.

did a

#yum remove bind-chroot
#yum update

But bind wouldn't start in plesk

error is /etc/named.conf:122: open: /etc/secondaries.include: file not found

except it is there like my other box in /var/named/run-root/etc

(i've been using the boxes to act as secondary dns servers between each other)

#yum install bind-chroot

does not work and I can't find an rpm of it

What does /etc/sysconfig/named look like? On a default Plesk box it should have these options:
bind-chroot is available in the CentOS repositories, but maybe it is excluded in your yum configuration somewhere. You really shouldn't have bind-chroot installed.

It didn't have the line

ROOTDIR="/var/named/run-root"

I guess

#yum remove bind-chroot

remove this line

I added the line in and now named has restarted. So all ok and now I have it running as suggested without bind-chroot installed.

Intrestingly the other box which I have been trying to keep identical didn't have it installed so I must have put this on via a different package at some point.

I did look in the CentOS repositaries but I needed

/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.P1.el5_2.x86_64.rpm

and they only had

/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.P1.el5.x86_64.rpm

Thanks for your help Breun - much appreciated.

Two days ago updated bind-* packages were released. Maybe the mirror you're looking doesn't have those updates yet.

I have the same problem, can't run a yum update:

Error: Missing Dependency: bind = 30:9.3.3-10.el5 is needed by package bind-chroot


(Note: I have bind-chroot in the yum exclude list because of Plesk.)

But apparently you do have the bind-chroot package installed at the moment. That is why the upgrade of the other bind* packages fails: it would leave an older bind-chroot package with unsatisfied dependencies. Solution: remove the bind-chroot package, fix your bind configuration and then upgrade.

Yes you are right

bind-chroot.x86_64 30:9.3.3-10.el5 installed

I could remove it, but haven't got a clue about bind and what I might have to change in the configuration.

Read this thread again, somebody else already went through the same process.

Now I get it,

yum remove bind-chroot

Then add back into /etc/sysconfig/named

then
service named start

because after removing bind-chroot it didn't start.

I hope that's all I had to do
