This might fix the issue:

sudo apt-get install -f bind9

If it doesn't, then this might fix the issue:

sudo apt-get remove bind9

sudo apt-get install bind9

Failing that you may want to remove bind9 via dpkg directly (to avoid apt-get uninstalling whatever depends on it):

sudo dpkg --remove bind9

sudo apt-get install -f bind9

If dpkg doesn't want to remove bind9 (it might say the package is in an inconsistent state and needs to be reinstalled before it can be removed), you may try upgrading to the new version directly

sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/bind9_1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.7_*.deb

sudo apt-get install -f
