[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#595400: chown/chmod warnings when creating resolv.conf for the first time

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-9
Severity: wishlist
File: /sbin/dhclient-script

I'm building live-boot images.  resolv.conf isn't included in the
squashfs root filesystem, because there's no sensible default and
dhclient will overwrite it during boot anyway.

And it WORKS, but there are these two errors (chown/chmod).  It's
because dhclient-script assumes resolv.conf already exists.
I wish dhclient-script didn't emit these warnings.
