[Bug 1056363] [NEW] package bind9 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Blackhawke]

Public bug reported:

Even though all updates to bind9 have come direct from canonical, I am
now getting broken dependency errors when it attempts to upgrade. Nor
can Synaptic even uninstall or "completely remove" bind9 -- which I
attempted to do in order to clean up whatever mess apt has created in
its repeated attempts to upgrade the package.

So I'm at a loss here: I can't uninstall it. I can't upgrade it, and I
can't do any of the upgrades to my system (currently there are 120
pending) because all of the package management tools throw errors
concerning bind9 when I try to run them.

Along with a bug fix, suggestions on how to break the stalemate would be
appreciated.
