Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.39
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
On upgrade from an older version of resolvconf, 1.37, which
uses /dev/shm/resolvconf, to the latest version 1.39, I
suspect this postinst command
ln -fs /lib/init/rw/resolvconf /etc/resolvconf/run
doesn't do the right thing. Previously /etc/resolvconf/run
is a symlink to the /dev/shm/resolvconf directory, so on my
system I end up with a symlink
/etc/resolvconf/run/resolvconf => /lib/init/rw/resolvconf,
instead of it overwriting the existing symlink and creating
/etc/resolvconf/run => /lib/init/rw/resolvconf. Now there's
a duplicate copy in /lib/init/rw/resolvconf which isn't used
(but disappears on reboot of course). The symlink
/etc/resolvconf/run => /dev/shm/resolvconf persists across
reboot until I manually change it and re-run
``/etc/init.d/resolvconf start''.
The -T flag to `ln', seems like it would do the right thing.
It's hard to believe no one else ran into this since version
1.38 (2007-12-31) if it's a legit bug, so it's possible I
have a weird config... Anyway the -T flag probably won't
hurt.
Thanks,
Karl
