Bug#651801: resolvconf: /etc/resolv.conf is a broken link after reboot

December 12th, 2011 - 04:20 am ET by Teodor | Report spam
Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.62
Severity: grave

Hi,

Every time I reboot the system I have to fix /etc/resolv.conf to have DNS
working again. Since /etc/resolv.conf -> /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf,
the later is not automatically created at reboot. I see now that this is
actually a symlink to /run which is a tmpfs.

Thanks

Hi there, thanks for the bug report and apologies for whatever I've
screwed up in version 1.62.

Can you please let me know a little more about your configuration?

What is in your /etc/resolv.conf file after reboot? What exactly do
you do to fix it? What do you expect to find in resolv.conf?

After reboot, when the anomalous situation pertains, please send
directory listings of everything under /etc/resolvconf and
/run/resolvconf and the contents of each of the files in those
directories.
Thomas
