Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  You set the chroot option, it's your responsibility to set the other options it needs.

The fix for it is to modify /usr/lib/systemd/system/pdns.service and set the type to `Type=simple` as per error message.
However, seams odd that this has to be done each installation/upgrade, so a change to the build script may be in order?

I don't know anything about pdns, where is chroot= coming from? Your config?

  • Field changed: Summary ([powerdns] PLEASE ENTER SUMMARY → [powerdns] chroot when running from systemd)
meaningful summaries are meaningful

There's no need to edit the service file on every run, use systemd *.conf.d/ drop-ins.

The pdns.conf shipped in the package disables chroot by default, for exactly this reason.
