[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#591445: system comes up with empty resolv.conf

[Itai Seggev]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.46
Severity: normal

I think I've had this issue for a while (2-3 months?) but only recently traced
it to resolvconf.  This may or may not be related to #563386 "resolvconf:
Error: /etc/resolvconf/run/interface is not a directory".  I get that same
error message, but I've never had dnsmasq installed, and this didn't used to be
a problem.  At any rate, my system comes up with an empty resolv.conf (or
perhaps one simply containing the head, I think).  Statd takes forever to come
up, which I think is related to this problem.  Once I'm logged in, doing a
ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 will bring the desired resolv.conf.  (I have a static
eth0 with dns-* entires in /etc/network/interfaces.)

Sorry I can't be more specific; any help would be appreciated.
