[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] Only ask the user to install bind, not caching-nameserver

When installing the ipa server using 'ipa-install-server --setup-bind', 
the following message will show up if the /etc/named.rfc1912.zones 
doesn't exist on the system:

--setup-bind was specified but bind is not installed on the system
Please install bind (you may also need the package 'caching-nameserver') 
and restart the setup program

The caching-nameserver is mentioned because on some systems (fedora 7, 
rhel 5) this package contains the file, but on newer systems, it is 
contained in the bind package. This message therefore might be 
misleading on the newer systems, since the caching-nameserver package 
doesn't exist there.

As a solution, I suggest we remove the mention of caching-nameserver 
(the attached patch) and then add patches which add it in the mentioned 
system's rpms.
