PiHole Stopped Working after pihole -up (DNS service not running)

yes. even did repair after it and it works thx

Super, thanks. Fix is already coded for next release, just waiting on approval from the rest of the team. Cheers!

Just to confirm:
Is this a problem that EVERYONE will run into when upgrading pi-hole? Or does it only occur with specific setups?

Only specific setups, related to DHCP configurations.
