Subject: lost /etc/bind/db.root and can't get it back

Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.1.1-1
Severity: normal
The bind9 package is behaving very strangely. I had recently installed it as a
replacement for bind, and it was working fine. I use it as a local
forwarding-only nameserver for my couple of machines on a LAN connected by
dialup to the Internet. (That is, I use directives "forward only" and
"forwarders { ..... }".)
bind9 conflicts with and replaces bind. It leaves the bind package in a
"removed" but not "purged" state. Doing some housecleaning, I purged bind. I
reasoned that the package had been replaced by another package that conflicted
with it -- I therefore did not need the old one any more. Purging bind,
however, removed at least /etc/bind/db.root, which is obviously critical to the
functioning of bind9. There's major problem #1.
After restoring my machine's ability to access the Internet without a working
bind, I downloaded the bind9 Debian package and reinstalled it. The following
shell transcript seems to show that the package contains a file,
/etc/bind/db.root, that it nevertheless does not install:
/incoming/src/debian# dpkg -i bind9_9.1.1-1_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 108854 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace bind9 1:9.1.1-1 (using bind9_9.1.1-1_i386.deb) ...
Stopping domain name service: named.
Unpacking replacement bind9 ...
Setting up bind9 (9.1.1-1) ...
Starting domain name service: named.
/incoming/src/debian# dpkg -L bind9 | grep db.root
/etc/bind/db.root
/incoming/src/debian# ls -l /etc/bind/db.root
/bin/ls: /etc/bind/db.root: No such file or directory
/incoming/src/debian#
Unfortunately I am unable to investigate further into what the postinst is
doing, and so on, at the moment.
I've reverted to the "bind" package in testing, and have normal functioning
again.
