Control: tag -1 + moreinfo unreproducible

Hi,

(writing as the one who last uploaded wicd -- as an NMU.)

I'm not sure if this is really a wicd issue, because:

(That part of) wicd has not changed for at least two years and except
a compatibility patch for some UI library stuff, the same version of
wicd is present in Wheezy.

So if wicd's behaviour changed there, it's caused by something else,
but not by a change in wicd.

I haven't noticed any issues as I'm using dnssec-trigger to write my
/etc/resolv.conf, so I uninstalled dnssec-trigger and switched betwen
wired and wireless networks with wicd and in both cases I got the
expected DNS search domains as well as name servers.

So I can't reproduce the issue. I suspect a corner case with regards
to either wicd's or dhclient's configuration. I'd be happy if others
could check in their setups if they can reproduce it. (If noone else
can reproduce it, I'd consider it a corner case and would lower the
severity to non-RC.)

Vincent: Can you enable /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/debug and
wicd's debug mode to see if that helps you to find some more details
about why /etc/resolv.conf is no more updated in your setup, but still
does as expected in my setup? TIA!
