OpenSUSE BIND / Named Error on Service Startup

[Honess]

Hi there,
I am trying to create a BIND server using Open SUSE 12.1 64bit. I have followed the prompts through the yast2 DNS Server config created my DNS Zone.

I get the Error "Error occured while starting named Error."


When I tail /var/log/messages i get the error:

sdb.c.219: REQUIRE(methods->lookup != ((void * )0)) failed
exiting (due to assertion failure)
Starting name server BIND ..failed
named.service: control process exited. code=exited status=1
Unit name.service entered failed state.

I have done an online software update in yast2 and I am using bind-9.8.3P2-4.17.1.X86_64


iptables and selinux are disabled.

Has anyone came across this issue?

Thanks

Oh this was swell ..

So even with apparmor disabled on the system I found a policy in /etc/apparmor.d/

usr.sbin.named

I moved this file to /tmp and restarted the machine. No difference.

I even installed apparmor and switched it to complain mode, no difference and I even added named to enforce mode no difference.

I ran an strace on /usr/sbin/named

and saw it was whinging about some shared libraries:

mainly in particular:

open("/usr/lib64/x86_64/liblwres.so.80", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/lib64/x86_64", 0x7fff616fb920) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)


loaded up yast and installed these packages: bind-devel and bind9-lwresd.

Service named restart: and we have a win:
