It was due to the fact that "/run/named" did not exist but had been
mentioned in ReadWritePaths= in the service unit file! The appropriate
entry in the tmpfiles config file had somehow got lost. Creating that
directory on the VM let me start the service. I have now added the entry
to the tmpfiles config file and am waiting for the package build to
complete.
