Package: resolvconf Version: 1.62 Followup-For: Bug #651801 Dear Thomas,
I have the same issue as Teodor: After a reboot my wireless interface is up and working but /etc/resolv.conf points to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, which does not exist. After a reboot the layout of /etc/resolvconf/ is # ls -Rl /etc/resolvconf/ /etc/resolvconf/: total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116 Aug 13 2009 interface-order drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 12 09:40 resolv.conf.d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 20 12:34 run -> /run/resolvconf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 22 09:51 update-libc.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 12 09:40 update.d /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d: total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 9 2006 base -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 151 Aug 9 2006 head -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 118 Nov 18 2009 original -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 220 Jun 1 2011 tail /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d: total 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 188 Sep 4 17:08 fetchmail /etc/resolvconf/update.d: total 16 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3601 Jan 12 2011 bind -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3195 Dec 6 2008 dnscache -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5095 Nov 30 19:05 libc and /run/resolvconf/ # ls -Rl /run/resolvconf/ /run/resolvconf/: total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 12 21:20 enable-updates drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Dec 12 21:37 interface /run/resolvconf/interface: total 0 I think the problem is that /sbin/resolvconf silently does nothing if it is called with empty input like: # echo -n | resolvconf -a wlan0 and /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf does not exist or contains no `nameserver' directives. However, if /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf does contain a `nameserver' directive # echo -n | resolvconf -a wlan0 causes /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf to be rewritten. I hope that helps in tracking down this problem.
