Error when running "Update Server Software" in WHM

[redrigo8]

Hi,

I got this error when I run "Update Server Software"
Error: Missing Dependency: bind = 30:9.3.3-10.el5 is needed by package bind-chroot

In my yum.conf file I have following exclude:
exclude=apache* bind-chroot courier* dovecot* exim* httpd* mod_ssl* mysql* nsd* perl* php* proftpd* pure-ftpd* spamassassin* squirrelmail*

My server is CentOS 5 with WHM 11.23.2

Regards
Martin

Yup, same here. Even thought the bind package is installed.

Same problem here. It's caused by yum trying to upgrade the bind package while the bind-chroot package is in the exclude= directive in /etc/yum.conf.
Since bind-chroot is excluded, yum is unable upgrade it, and it depends on the older version of bind.
I opened a ticket with cpanel (since the exclude= directive is set by them), and I was told that using bind-chroot isn't recommended anyway.
Doing 'yum remove bind-chroot' solved the problem for me. I guess if you want to keep using bind-chroot, just prevent it from being excluded by editing /etc/yum.conf and yum will upgrade it.

What is bind-chroot exactly used for? Tried to look around google with no clues. I removed it for now.

What was your ticket number?

So any normal fix for this?
