This bug was fixed in the package resolvconf - 1.63ubuntu1 --------------- resolvconf (1.63ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * Debian fixed bugs (LP: #797339, #871058, #471975, #378844, #894417) * Differences from Debian: - /sbin/resolvconf: + Exit if /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink - debian/rules: + Install upstart script rather than initscript (LP: #366967, #750423) - debian/{pre,post}inst + Migrate (to /run) from /var/run, not from /lib/init/rw. + [0706f28] Remove old Sys V init scripts and symlinks * Thanks to Sander van Grieken for his assistance with this release. resolvconf (1.63) unstable; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * [a83fce3] Depend on a later version of the initscripts package * [cfc8349] Use variable instead of hard-coded path for old run dir in maintainer scripts, to help shrink the Ubuntu diff. * [9921902] Update and improve resolvconf(8) * [719dc9b] Run update on boot (Closes: #651801, #651827) * [5fc985c] Don't trigger on reconfigure (Closes: #651803) resolvconf (1.62) unstable; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * [0352a85] postrm: On removal restore original resolv.conf if current (dynamic) resolv.conf has no content. (Closes: #644956) Thanks to Josep Lladonosa Capell. * [7cdfa73] Move logic details from initscript to /sbin/resolvconf; for this purpose add new options to /sbin/resolvconf: --enable-updates, --disable-updates, --updates-are-enabled, --create-runtime-directories. * [7cdfa73] Eliminate "-i" option supplied to update scripts and the code in /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc that made use of this. [ Marco Nenciarini ] * [e175b76] Remove hardcoded path from resolvconf's invocation in maintainer scripts. Thanks to lintian resolvconf (1.61) unstable; urgency=low * [cbb5105] list-records: Add comment re: extglob; speed up final loop * [4492943] Eliminate bashisms from /sbin/resolvconf.

The scripts don't need to be configuration files. * In postrm print a message and put up debconf note recommending reboot. (Closes: #628524) * Remove comments from /etc/resolv.conf on removal. * Remove /lib/init/rw/resolvconf on purge. (Closes: #628669) * Update debconf template translation: * eu.po thanks to Iñaki Larrañaga Murgoitio (Closes: #628719) * Clean up many .po headers * Update README resolvconf (1.54) unstable; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * Put "exit 0" at the end of each maintainer script resolvconf (1.53) unstable; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * Dpkg trigger is now called 'resolvconf-enable-updates' and is now intended only for internal use. * Other packages are notified of the installation of resolvconf via hook scripts as described in the "Usage information for maintainers" section of the resolvconf README file. (Closes: #567059, #627691) * Update my e-mail address in various places * Update debconf template translation: * cs.po thanks to Miroslav Kure (Closes: #627440) * Remove /etc/resolvconf/update.d/bind (Closes: #608933, #268073). Instead of this, the bind9 package should include a hook script /etc/resolvconf/update.d/bind9 as has been requested in #483098. * Due to changes in Debian infrastructure change debian/control fields Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser. Ref: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/05/msg00009.html resolvconf (1.52) unstable; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * Add debian/source/format at lintian's suggestion * Update debconf template translations: * ru.po thanks to Yuri Kozlov (Closes: #625623) * sv.po thanks to Martin Bagge (Closes: #625786) * nl.po thanks to Vincent Zweije (Closes: #625896) * de.po thanks to Helge Kreutzmann (Closes: #626030) * da.po thanks to Joe Dalton (Closes: #626302) * fr.po thanks to Christian PERRIER, Steve Petruzzello and David Prévot * pt.po thanks to Pedro Ribeiro (Closes: #626675) * Remove long outdated pt_BR.po * Don't run mkdir with -v in debian/p*inst resolvconf (1.51) experimental; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * Rename 'TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_127' to 'TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS' and make it cause the nameserver list to be truncated also after an IPv6 loopback address. (Closes: #568820) * Normalize contents of records -- i.e., strip out comments and whitespace and shorten IPv6 nameserver addresses. This makes it easier to implement the change above. * Add debian/test-normalization script to test the normalization code. * Update resolvconf/downup-interfaces template again. resolvconf (1.50) experimental; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * Also migrate non-symlinked directory /etc/resolvconf/run to /run/resolvconf. * Be interested in own trigger and enable updates only when triggered. This could eliminate some superfluous updates on installation. (Evidence that a package is allowed trigger itself: http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/10/msg00175.html) * Add section "Usage information for maintainers" to the README file discussing the new trigger. * Document the "original" file in resolvconf(8). (Closes: #414692) * Improve markup of resolvconf(8). resolvconf (1.49) experimental; urgency=low [ Thomas Hood ] * Standardly keep run-time data in /run instead of /lib/init/rw; migrate from /lib/init/rw to /run in the postinst. (Closes: #621503). Thanks to Roger Leigh for his help. * Create run-time data directories in the preinst instead of in the postinst. (Closes: #551999, #563386). (Do this in /run if that is already already available, otherwise in /lib/init/rw, otherwise in /etc/resolvconf.) Now when other packages call resolvconf before resolvconf's postinst runs, the data are not lost and no error message is printed. * If someone has run resolvconf while updates were disabled, update when updates are enabled. * Include the contents of the original resolv.conf file in the database until the first reboot after installation. The old behavior was to omit these contents unless link-tail-to-original was selected with the result that information was missing from resolv.conf until ifdown-ifup cycles. The new behavior is not correct either, since nameserver addresses are not removed when corresponding interfaces are deconfigured, but should have less unpleasant consequences than the old behavior. * Update the debconf template that discusses the problem just described. Whereas before it was recommended that the administrator down and up network interfaces, it is now recommended that the administrator reboot the system. * Add da.po. (Closes: #623079) Thanks to Joe Dalton. * Run debconf-updatepo. * Add Depends on initscripts >= 2.88dsf-13.3 which enables /run in its postinst, ensuring that /run is available to our postinst. * Activate the "resolvconf-event" trigger in postinst and in postrm in order to induce other packages to take notice of resolvconf being installed (configured) or removed. When triggered and resolvconf is installed, interested packages possessing name server information should send it to resolvconf. See README for details. (Closes: #567059) * Remove /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolvconf which is obsolete; remove it on purge and declare a Breaks: old versions of dhcp3-client which used it. (Closes: #591022). * Use dh_installifupdown to install ifupdown hook scripts and, consequently, Build-Depend on newer debhelper. * Update debian/compat to 8. * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2.0. * Tidy up all maintainer scripts.
