Hello Earl, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.

The bind9 prerm script (which is run before we remove the old version) stops bind9. Unfortunately, if bind9 is not running at the time, it registers as an error.

For your situation, you can start bind9 before the upgrade to work around this issue.

Marking as triaged, as the prerm script should be able to check to see if bind9 is running before stopping it.

Setting Importance to Low, as this will only affect users who happen to have bind9 stopped while upgrading.

summary: - package bind9 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 failed to install/upgrade:
