NetBSD crows.email 11.0_RC6 NetBSD 11.0_RC6 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Jul 7 15:10:39 UTC 2026 mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
On a fresh install of NetBSD 11.0_RC6 amd64, setting unbound=YES results in an error message during system startup.
unbound-checkconf[695:0] error: Could not open /var/chroot/unbound/etc/unbound/unbound.conf: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/unbound exited with code 1
It appears the script as currently written is running unbound-checkconf before it runs the migration. Since checkconf will fail on a fresh install, the script returns early. It won't reach the call to unbound_migrate().
>How-To-Repeat:
>From a fresh install, add 'unbound=YES' to /etc/rc.conf
Reboot, and the error message will be in the rc.log

Tested v 1.4 on NetBSD 11.0_RC6 amd64 after restoring the original system state to related files.
Conf migration was successful, the trust anchor was created, and unbound started up as expected. I like the comments that were added!
