Package: tasksel Version: 2.66 Severity: normal Please install resolvconf by default, at least in desktop task.
Rationale: Assume the following scenario. Joe user run Windows in his home computer before migrating to Debian. His router, which acts as DHCP server, is broken and will send out its own IP address as DNS server, despite the fact that it isn't actualy acting as DNS recursor or proxy. This wasn't a problem with Windows, because Joe had set it up to "obtain IP/netmask/gw automaticaly" but not to "obtain DNS automaticaly" (they're separate options). Unfortunately, adding good DNS via network-admin doesn't archieve the same effect, because dhclient will overwrite /etc/resolv.conf whenever it's run, which is going to be quite often if you happen to run network-manager (also enabled by default). This means Joe had to reload his DNS every 10 minutes untill his friend Robert could debug the problem and figure out that resolvconf was needed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-amd64 Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages tasksel depends on: ii aptitude 0.4.4-1 terminal-based apt frontend ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-1 Using libc functions for internati ii tasksel-data 2.66 Official tasks used for installati tasksel recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
