[Bug 1086775] Re: bind9 uses high CPU after lucid->precise upgrade

[Alex Bligh]

To follow this up, the .deb at least on Lucid does NOT have the write
permission set.

amb at nimrod-ubuntu:~/bind-test$ dpkg -c bind9_9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1ubuntu0.8_amd64.deb | fgrep cache
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2012-10-09 14:13 ./var/cache/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2012-10-09 14:13 ./var/cache/bind/


I've tried this on a pristine Precise box and it doesn't go wrong because Precise does not remove /var/cache/bind as it is populated (unlike on at least some Lucid installs). However, if I manually remove the cache directory, it does go wrong:
