So I think this may be part of the problem… I initially installed MAAS through apt-get… then apt-get remove/apt-get purge and switched to using a snap based installation. It looks like some of the references in /etc/bind are/were pointing to files set in /etc/bind/maas which… doesn’t exist. Instead it looks like those files live in /var/snap/maas/18199/bind …
I am not sure if this is bad cleanup when I removed MAAS, or some simlink that should have been created but wasn’t…
