Package: resolvconf Version: 1.76.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have several IPs assigned to the interface. It's bridged but I don't think it's related. The problem is that nameservers are only being written to /etc/resolv.conf if they're specified in the last section OR if each section has an alias. For example this does not work (/etc/resolv.conf only contains the header and no nameservers): iface pan0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 iface pan0 inet static address 192.168.252.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 iface pan0 inet static address 172.17.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 This works: iface pan0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 iface pan0 inet static address 192.168.252.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 iface pan0 inet static address 172.17.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 This also works as expected: iface pan0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 iface pan0:bt inet static address 192.168.252.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 iface pan0:other inet static address 172.17.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 I see that the method without aliases is preferred as the other one is called "legacy" and I found out that it doesn't work as it should. It's like each subsequent section overwrites the resolvconf's settings so the only way for it to work is to set nameservers in the last one. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (700, 'stable'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-pf2bfs+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages resolvconf depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii ifupdown 0.7.53.1 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 resolvconf recommends no packages. resolvconf suggests no packages. -- debconf information: resolvconf/link-tail-to-original: false resolvconf/downup-interfaces: resolvconf/linkify-resolvconf: true resolvconf/reboot-recommended-after-removal: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
