Yes there is a directory with that name and several files in it... what is that stuff? And look at this: aptitude search resolvconf p resolvconf - name server information handler Its not installed and I've never installed it, and yet I have the directory with files inside. I created a handmade /etc/resolv.conf, shortly after installing debian. I get an IP thru dhcp... maybe that is whats going on? It was overwritten once before and I rewrote it. That was some time back. Far as I know it has worked ever since. Through quite a few smaller updates. Todays' was rather a large one (187 pkgs) Several update rounds had been backed up due to lingering problems getting rid of backuppc.. which was interfering with updates. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
