What is the output of this command?
apt-cache policy bind9-host
I am guessing that there are multiple sources for bind9-host. They
are different. You are alternately installing first one and then the
other. I have seen this behavior from apt with other packages with
that problem. A local rebuild in a local depot was my problem.
What is the output of this command?
apt-get install --print-uris -d -y -qq bind9-host |awk '{print$1}' |xargs -l
I am guessing that as you install first one and then the other that
the URL printed will be changing from one location to the next.
