Package: libc-ares1 Version: 1.5.1-0 Severity: normal I guess this is a "wishlist" bug for supporting lwresd, but it was hard to work out why things were going wrong. Maybe the two packages should conflict.
On systems that use the "lwresd" package, libc-ares1 can't resolve hostnames. Looking at the handling of /etc/nsswitch.conf in ares_init.c (line 794), it doesn't have support for the "lwres" option. $ curl www.debian.org curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.debian.org (Could not contact DNS servers) The Mana World (package tmw) can't update maps, rendering it unplayable at the moment. It will show a curl error message at startup, and works if updates.themanaworld.org is added to /etc/hosts. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc-ares1 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries libc-ares1 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information *** /etc/nsswitch.conf # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality. # If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try: # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file. passwd: compat group: compat shadow: compat hosts: files mdns4_minimal lwres mdns4 #hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
