Bug Description

Binary package hint: resolvconf

Resolvconf in jaunty uses a real /etc/resolvconf/run directory instead of /var/run/resolvconf (plus symlink from /etc/resolvconf/run).
The problem is caused by a broken regexp in resolvconf.postinst: The entry for /var/run in /proc/mounts starts with "varrun" and not "tmpfs".

Patch attached.

This still appears to be valid up to Karmic and Lucid with resolvconf 1.44ubuntu1. However, it seems that the regex that checks /proc/mounts should start with 'none', not tmpfs now.

This bug was fixed in the package resolvconf - 1.45ubuntu1

---------------
resolvconf (1.45ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes (LP: #495998):
    - bin/resolvconf:
      + fail with non-zero exit code when /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink.
    - debian/postinst:
      + use default /var/run.
    - debian/rules:
      + don't install the init script in runlevels 0 and 6.
  * debian/postinst:
    - make sure all run files are sent to /var/run, not /lib/init/rw
    - update regex to check that /var/run is a tmpfs (LP: #386822)
    - fix typo in comments
  * debian/postrm:
    - remove /var/run/resolvconf, not /lib/init/rw/resolvconf
    - also purge /var/run/resolvconf/interface
