[Pkg-freeipa-devel] Bug#1004729: bind9-dyndb-ldap: fails to load dyndb-ldap backend

[Matej Zagiba]

Dear Maintainers,

  this bug is NOT FIXED, which manifests right now.

packake bind9-dyndb-ldap is now broken both in stable and unstable.

In stable:

  bind9-dyndb-ldap is in version 11.6-3 and this package depends on 
bind9-libs >= 1:9.16.15. Reality is, that bind9-dyndb-ldap actually 
depends on bind9-libs == 1:9.16.15. Which is no longer available, so 
package install but fails to load (bringing bind9 down whit itself.)

In unstable:

  bind9-dyndb-ldap is in version 11.10-2 and this package depends on 
bind9-libs ==  1:9.18.10-2. Which is no longer available.
bind9-dyndb-ldap is not installable on fresh installs of unstable, or
which is even worse, bind9 will not upgrade to latest version, so 
leaving systems vulnerable to handful of CVEs.

I believe real problem lies in package management procedures - there 
should be trigger to recompile and repackage (and retest) 
bind9-dyndb-ldap after each version change and/or repackage of 
bind9-libs. This action should be done automatically. Otherwise 
bind9-dyndb-ldap will be permanently broken.


Should I open another bug?
