Package conflict: bind v/s bind-tools

[Gordon Ewasiuk via freebsd-questions]

Howdy List,

Pkg tells me I can have bind OR bind-utils due to a conflict with

(snip)
Checking integrity... done (1 conflicting)
- bind-tools-9.11.2 conflicts with bind911-9.11.2 on
/usr/local/bin/arpaname
bind911-9.11.2
bind-tools: 9.11.2

So...I can have BIND and run a DNS server or I can have dig/delv and not
run BIND?

Is this a recent change? Has anyone else encountered it? If so, how did
you handle it? (Unbound isn't an option for me at this time.)

The bind server package includes everything that's in the bind-utils
package:

% pkg which /usr/local/bin/dig
/usr/local/bin/dig was installed by package bind911-9.11.2_4
% pkg which /usr/local/bin/delv
/usr/local/bin/delv was installed by package bind911-9.11.2_4

So just install bind if you want to use it as a nameserver.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hi Matthew,

Right before I saw your msg, I discovered that myself. Argh. Sorry for
bothering the list. Thanks for the quick reply.
