Unable to upgrade BIND v9.19.11 on Ubuntu without error

[Richard T.A. Neal]

For the past few releases I've been unable to successfully upgrade my BIND v9.19.11 on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.

The upgrade appears to go OK at first but then it stumbles at the following line. I've had to re-type this because my console tool can't copy/paste this segment for some reason:

Process: 6162 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named -f $OPTIONS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Upon a reboot I then get the following in Syslog:

Would someone be kind enough to let me know what other info I can provide so this can be troubleshooted?

Thanks,

Richard.
