Subject: [gentoo-user] Why does bind-tools 9.18 depend on bind?
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2024 18:45:59 -0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vfe4l7$uk0$1@ciao.gmane.io> (raw)
Portage suddenly wants to install net-dns/bind so it can update
bind-tools from 9.16 to 9.18. I've always had bind-tools installed,
but it has never required that I install the bind server and its
dependencies (for which I have no use). Older versions of bind-tools
didn't require bind. The ebuilds for bind-tools 9.20 that I've found
at on overlays don't require bind.
What's so special about bind-tools 9.18 that it has to have bind
installed?
Is there another package that will provide a command line dns lookup
tool that can be used for troubleshooting that doesn't require me to
install a DNS server all of its extra faff?
