multiple DNS search domains not supported by update-resolv-conf

[Jeremy Zawodny]

Binary package hint: openvpn

If your OpenVPN server pushes multiple DNS search domains, this update-resolve-conf script only remembers the last one in the list.

I've attached a patch that fixes it in my testing.

bug #714358 has been marked of this one. The patch in this bug report correctly prepends 'search' between entries. So the delta in 2.1.3-2ubuntu3, superseeds that of 2.1.3-2ubuntu2.

This bug was fixed in the package openvpn - 2.1.3-2ubuntu3

I am not sure, but AFAICS the fix in openvpn doesn't help, since network-manager-openvpn ignores the script /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf in favor of its own helper to receive the domain names.
