[Bug 558384] Re: Settings dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces does not create /etc/resolv.conf

[Steve Langasek]

The resolvconf package is known to not be usable in 10.04. If you are seeing problems with it, you should remove it from your system.
The package works in 12.04 beta, but the changes are not backportable to lucid.

** Changed in: resolvconf (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix

Title:
  Settings dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces does not create
  /etc/resolv.conf

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ifupdown

  (Lucid beta) When using dhcp configuration in /etc/network/interfaces,
  the client receives an IP address, but can not resolve hostnames.
  /etc/resolv.conf is missing.

  For example

  # The primary network interface
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  Steps to reproduce:
  - Boot Ubuntu
  - /etc/resolv.conf is missing (and NFS shares like hostname:/ will not be mounted.)
