[Bug 226185] Re: update-resolv-conf script does not restore old values

[Thierry Carrez]

Reopening for more discussion.

What are you using as DHCP client ? Also are you using Network-Manager ? Are you using Network-Manager-OpenVPN ?
I'm still convinced openvpn calls resolvconf properly, however if the other elements of the system (DHCP client / Network Manager...) modify /etc/resolv.conf without using resolvconf, openVPN's update-resolv-conf will indeed trash their settings. The system must either fully use resolvconf or fully use some other way of keeping /etc/resolv.conf sane.

Note that using network-manager-openVPN instead of update-resolv-conf to
update /etc/resolv.conf is apparently also buggy (DHCP keeps on
overwriting the settings, see bug 247257). Also see bug 107564 for
related problems and solutions.
