      The following input errors were detected:

      The generated config file cannot be parsed by unbound. Please correct the following errors:

        Ok. I just noticed the update notification to 22.05. Hopefully that will fix this issue.

            @fedfan I would open a case with tac to get install for 22.05, they normally answer and send link in a few minutes. And do a clean install.. You can take a backup of your config and then restore.

            Something is clearly borked, most likely with a previous update when python got update before.

            You don't need any sort of support contract or anything to get the install media for netgate appliances.

              @fedfan said in DNS resolver not starting, missing python lib unbound-checkconf:

              just noticed the update notification to 22.05

              Did you happen to install any packages (in the last 8 months) before upgrading to 22.05? Doing so can install "future" dependencies and break things.

              doc for reinstall: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/reinstall-pfsense.html

              Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
