[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#479867: resolvconf vs. down djbdns(dnscache) service

[Soeren Sonnenburg]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.40
Severity: important
Tags: patch

when one has djbdns installed and its dnscache configured as forwared
(but marked down), then resolvconf will try to restart dnscache even if it
is down and fail.  The reason is in /etc/resolvconf/update.d/dnscache
 and the fix is to add a [ ! -f "$SVC/down" ] to the if like here:


                        if \
                                [ -d "$SVC" ] \
                                && [ -f "$SVC/run" ] \
                                && [ ! -f "$SVC/down" ] \
                                && [ -d "$SVC/root" ] \
                                && [ -d "$SVC/root/servers" ] \
                                && [ -d "$SVC/root/ip" ] \
                                && [ -s "$SVC/env/FORWARDONLY" ] \
                                && grep -q dnscache "$SVC/run"
                        then
