Summary:                    bind creates useless named.root which does not
contain IP addresses
Description: 
POST_INSTALL for bind contains:

if (dig . ns > named.root) ; then
    (Use that named.root)

Which it should not do, because "dig . ns" on my PC, with "nameserver
208.67.222.222" (which is one of OpenDNS's servers) in /etc/resolv.conf
creates only this:

; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-P1 <<>> . ns

There is no ";; ADDITIONAL SECTION:" containing IP addresses there, so bind
is useless because it doesn't know the IP addresses of the root servers,
and so can't contact them.

That "dig" command should not be used - instead, simply always run:
cp $SCRIPT_DIRECTORY/named.root /var/named/
