I am trying to install Bind 9 on a PI 4b running Buster. Having done sudo apt-get update, I enter: sudo apt-get install bind9 bind9utils dnsutils.

The error messages that come back indicate that Bind is not yet in the Raspbian Buster repository. I even tried installing it from the desktop installer, and got the same result.

    `apt policy bind9` on my Pi4 says it's available. Please add the full error message to your question. – Dirk Jul 24 '19 at 20:18
  • Rpi4 Raspbian 10 buster here. (1) $ sudo apt-get update has 2 erros and 3 warnings. (2) $ sudo apt-get install bind9 ... has 6 Err's and 7 E's. I am not surprised because I already found a couple of other similar problems of software/driver not ready for Rpi4. – tlfong01 Jul 25 '19 at 01:08

So you have to look at your setup, first at /etc/apt/sources.list, or use a fresh flashed image. You may also try to reinitialze the package lists. How to do it you can look at Raspberry Pi sudo apt-get update not working.
