The nature of the problem is that the existing resolv.conf backup code doesn't handle relative symlinks well. Copied to a different directory, a relative link becomes a broken link. os.path.exists() returns false for a broken link.
Thomas-Karl's fix (and the patch I've provided for it) handle it correctly. I have this problem in Ubuntu 13.04, but not in 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170589 Title: [raring] wicd-daemon fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/1170589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
