Hi Hilko, Luca and Moshe! You all filed independent bug reports against network-manager-0.9.0-2 about NM clearing/rewriting /etc/resolv.conf.
They all look like duplicates to me that's why I merged them and and unless the analysis shows otherwise I'd like you to follow up on this bug #642191 so we keep the information in one place. It seems you all have interfaces managed by ifupdown which are activated during boot and during the upgrade /etc/resolv.conf was overwritten/cleared i.e. empty besides a "# Generated by NetworkManager" line. NetworkManager either doesn't manage any interfaces at all or the interfaces it manages arent't active (e.g. no link beat). I tried to reproduce this issue with 0.9.0-2 by managing my wireless interface via ifupdown and did the following: - stop network-manager - configure eth0 via ifupdown - ifup eth0 (resolv.conf contains the correct nameserver configuration) - start network-manager (resolv.conf still correct!) So initially I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. But when I *stopped* network-manager, /etc/resolv.conf was rewritten/cleared in the way described above. So my guess is, that this is not actually a regression in 0.9.0, but simply due to the fact that network-manager was restarted (i.e. stopped) during the upgrade. And indeed I was able to reproduce the same behaviour with 0.8.4. It would be great if you could try to reproduce the following steps: 1/ kill network-manager (service network-manager stop) 2/ ifup eth0 (or whatever your interface is) 3/ check resolv.conf 4/ run NetworkManager --no-daemon --log-level=DEBUG (redirect the output to a file) 5/ check resolv.conf 6/ stop NetworkManager 7/ check resolv.conf Please try this with both 0.9.0 and 0.8.4 so I know I'm on the right track here and it is actually at 7/ where resolv.conf gets rewritten. If you need 0.8.4 and you don't have them in the apt-cache anymore, you can either get the packages from testing or via http://snapshot.debian.org/.
