Have you checked the bind log somewhere in /var/log?

After a while I realized there were some files that were not being purged, so they caused errors during re-installation and restarting.
I solved by:

# apt-get purge bind9
# rm -Rf /var/cache/bind
# rm -Rf /etc/bind/
# apt-get install bind9 bind9-doc dnsutils
