Title:
  natty network install strips the search field in resolv.conf

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When trying to install natty using netinstall and trying to do a
  mirror lookup/download packages it fails because the installer removes
  the search field in resolv.conf and we are using a shortname for the
  installation.

  When setup starts and configures the network then it asks about a
  hostname. Then when you open the console and types cat
  /etc/resolv.conf it shows me correctly the search field with domains
  provided with the isc dhcp server. After entering a hostname the
  search line is stripped from resolv.conf and the mirror setup fails
  because we are using a shortname.

  i can provide a minimal preseed file but the only thing i have
  configured is the disk setup.

  I thought i found a bug report upstream but it is already closed and
  available in version 1.59 #362029 also available in the changelog.
  Maybe it is responsible for stripping the search field?
