Bug Description

Binary package hint: bind9

This might be related to gadmin-bind and not bind9.

- A 10.10 install + updates.
- Used synaptic to install bind9 + gadmin-bind.
- After noting that gadmin cant really understand the ubuntu's bind (and ubuntu's bind cant run in a chroot), it was decided to try again in a clean install.
- Used synaptic to install and remove all files from bind9 and gadmin-bind.

Some post uninstall script ran:
    chown -R bind:bind /*
or something close to that.

Now every file is owned by bind user.

I am not enough familiar with debs to identify which package cause the problem. (rpm --scripts equivalent)

In gadmin-bind source directory:
$ grep -r "chown -R" *src/add_configuration.c: command = g_strdup_printf("chown -R %s:%s %s/*", NAMED_USER, NAMED_USER, CHROOT_PATH_BUF);
src/add_domain.c: command = g_strdup_printf("chown -R %s:%s %s/etc/sites/*", NAMED_USER, NAMED_USER, CHROOT_PATH_BUF);

I highly suspect that, given your comment about no chroot support, that CHROOT_PATH_BUF ended up with an empty string, and hilarity (at your expense) ensued. Thus, I'm moving this bug over to gadmin-bind.
