[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#533297: resolvconf does not generate an options-line from IF_DNS_OPTIONS

[Michael Stapelberg]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.44
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I need to use "options inet6" in /etc/resolv.conf to correctly resolve my IPv6-only
hostname. Specifying dns-options inet6 in /etc/network/interfaces has no effect
without applying the following patch found at [1]:
