Description

The unbound-anchor starts after every unbound service (re)start, which causes delays if there is no active Internet connection.

There is no need for unbound-anchor to update /var/unbound/root.key if DNSsec is disabled.

This commit seems to break enabling of DNSSEC on 2.7.0.a.20220328.0600. I previously had it enabled, disabled it, then tried to re-enable it again. When I do, I get the following error:

The following input errors were detected:
The generated config file cannot be parsed by unbound. Please correct the following errors:
/var/unbound/test/root.key: No such file or directory
[1648569147] unbound-checkconf[56468:0] fatal error: auto-trust-anchor-file: "/var/unbound/test/root.key" does not exist in chrootdir /var/unbound
