Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.37
Severity: important
resolvconf is currently making directories and files under /dev/shm.
This namespace is reserved for POSIX shared memory (as specified in
SUSv3) by functions such as shm_open(3). resolvconf's use of this
namespace is not allowed, and could potentially cause breakage.
Now that /lib/init/rw exists, resolvconf has no need to use /dev/shm
inappropriately. Please could you switch to using /lib/init/rw and
then /var after it is available?
Thanks,
Roger
