dns/bind911 depending on bind-tools?

Hi,

I think that making dns/bind911, dns/bind912, etc, depend on bind-tools which depends on dns/bind914 is a really bad idea.

Bind versions ship with their own bind tools and it’s a POLA violation to mix release versions.

It’s understandable to make bind-tools depend on the latest stable bind version, but if installing a different bind version it
should install its own tools.

I’ve just become kinda stuck with dependence problems due to this when updating bind911.






Borja.
