Errors were encountered while processing: bind9

So I have a properly running system with no errors so far, and I ran the package update. I do not understand why this has only now happened.

Installing package(s) with command apt-get -y install awstats ..

Setting up bind9 (1:9.4.2.dfsg.P2-2ubuntu0.6) ...

Configuration file `/etc/bind/named.conf.local'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** named.conf.local (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing bind9 (--configure):
EOF on stdin at conffile prompt

Howdy,

Try running that update from the command line as root, by typing "apt-get upgrade". When you receive the prompt, choose "N" to keep your existing config file.

You definitely don't want it to overwrite what you have there, that would cause trouble :-)
