It appears that you are attempting to install an out-of-date version of the package. You can see that the updated versions are available by looking at:

   http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bind9/

You may need to refresh the apt-get database. This can be done with the GUI or in a terminal windows using:

   sudo apt-get update
