Ok to update Bind to latest version? bind-chroot has dependancies on it

[BooDaddy]

So after running yum update on my server today, I noticed there were several packages updated. One of those was Bind. When I tried to update bind, I get the following dependency notifications:

Setting up Update Process

Error: Missing Dependency: bind = 30:9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 is needed by package 30:bind-chroot-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2.x86_64 (installed)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

If I am thinking correctly, DA doesnt really have much going on with bind itself, but I am a little concerned that by using the --skip-broken argument I will run into problems.

Is it safe to go ahead and update bind skipping the dependencies?

Sorry... fixed my problem by doing the following:

First, follow the directions here:

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=40

and then do this one:

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=128

At that point, it seemed safe to remove bind-chroot, so I did the following:

sudo rpm -e bind-chroot
sudo yum remove bind-chroot
sudo yum update

yum then updated bind without any problems, and all my sites are still resolving correctly.

Most important when updating BIND is to make sure it doesn't change your configuration files. check for files ending in rpm; you may need to do some merging.
