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

[Thomas Bushnell, BSG]

I'm pleased to report that with the newly rebuilt installer images that
include this patch, the symptoms we reported are no longer visible.
Thanks!

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.
