Package: dhcp3-client
Version: 3.0+3.0.1rc9-5
Severity: normal

When "new_domain_name_servers" exists but "new_domain_name" doesn't,
dhclient-script doesn't setup the new nameserver entries in "resolv.conf".
This prevents the system to work properly on networks that don't provide
"new_domain_name" on DHCP requests.

Proposed change to make_resolv_conf():

make_resolv_conf() {
  if [ "x$new_domain_name_servers" != x ]; then
    rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
    if [ "x$new_domain_name" != x ]; then
      echo search $new_domain_name >/etc/resolv.conf
    fi
    for nameserver in $new_domain_name_servers; do
      echo nameserver $nameserver >>/etc/resolv.conf
    done
    chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf
  fi
}
