[Bug 926447] Re: New resolvconf interacts badly with something in installs

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package netcfg - 1.68ubuntu9

---------------
netcfg (1.68ubuntu9) precise; urgency=low

  * Add a post-base-install hook to detect resolvconf and copy
    /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf to outside the target so that when /run
    is bind-mounted DNS resolving continues to work. (LP: #926447)
  * Apply patch from Alec Warner making netcfg respect netcfg/dhcpv6_timeout
    and running dhclient in one-shot mode (-1). (LP: #917905)

Title:
  New resolvconf interacts badly with something in installs

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As of ubuntu7 (and maybe ubuntu6), we get failing installs related to
  the new resolvconf changes which do the /etc/resolv.conf link in the
  postinst.

  During the "select and install software" step, we see /etc/resolv.conf
  go away (simply vanish) at some point in the prep step, and then we
  get the question about automatic upgrades, and then it goes away again
  during the install packages step. Then when the resulting error is
  printed (that it can't find our package source or proxy, because the
  names don't resolve) it gets put back.

  It's really clear what's happening when I have another VT which just
  does ls -l /etc/resolv.conf in a loop.

  Still investigating.
