Package: libc-ares1
Version: 1.5.1-0
Severity: normal
I guess this is a "wishlist" bug for supporting lwresd, but it was hard to
work out why things were going wrong. Maybe the two packages should
conflict.
On systems that use the "lwresd" package, libc-ares1 can't resolve
hostnames. Looking at the handling of /etc/nsswitch.conf in ares_init.c
(line 794), it doesn't have support for the "lwres" option.
$ curl www.debian.org
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.debian.org (Could not contact DNS servers)
The Mana World (package tmw) can't update maps, rendering it unplayable at
the moment. It will show a curl error message at startup, and works if
updates.themanaworld.org is added to /etc/hosts.
