Bug Description

Binary package hint: busybox

The busybox resolver is broken in the initramfs environment unless you include the following in an initramfs hook somewhere:

  copy_exec /lib/libnss_files.so.2 /lib
  copy_exec /lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /lib
  copy_exec /lib/libresolv.so.2 /lib

This may be a useful reference:

One significant consequence of this deficiency is that wget can't do name lookups.
