[SunHELP] DNS named error

It would be my guess that the initial Solaris installation included the 
"bind 8 package".

Somewhere along the line someone installed bind 9 from source.

You came along and applied the patch cluster, the script saw that there was 
a patch needed on the "bind 8 package" and it clobbered bind 9

If you're going to compile and run stuff from source, you need to be sure 
you uninstall it's package first.

Unfortunately, I have to say that I don't know what the package name is or 
even how to find out.  I've only had to pkgadd things...
