Couldn't find package rndc

Code:

# apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall rndc

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

E: Couldn't find package rndc

how did you install it then?
Did you upgrade your debian recently? Maybe it's not supported anymore if it comes from an external repo?

normally rndc will be installed with bind9.

I'd like to know howto reinstall rndc without touching (reinstalling) bind?

Hum..
It's part of bind9utils, not bind9.

Looks like they upgraded to lenny :)

You can go this page above and look at the file list included in bind9-utils. Either you reinstall it if it doesn't overwrite or manually take the .deb
cd /tmp
ar x <file.deb>
and move the files you want manually

But that's far from being clean..

What have you done to rndc? Please give more details next time. Thank you.
