[Bug 437783] Re: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink

[Thomas Hood]

Precise now has bind9 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4 so bug #920061 et al (re:
"/etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink") may now have been fixed.

As I mentioned earlier (in #10), *this* report, #437783, originally
reported a distinct bug, namely that of postconf failing to open main.cf
and consequently /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/postfix trying to copy
/etc/resolv.conf onto itself. The bug is still present in postfix
2.9.1-4.

** Summary changed:

- bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink
+ postfix update-libc.d script tries to copy resolv.conf onto itself.  Also link target for many duplicates of an unrelated bug: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink.

** Changed in: bind9 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released

** Changed in: postfix (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- postfix update-libc.d script tries to copy resolv.conf onto itself.  Also link target for many duplicates of an unrelated bug: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink.
+ postfix update-libc.d script tries to copy resolv.conf onto itself.  This is also a link target for many duplicates of an unrelated bug: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink.
