Thank you for the clarification with regard to the differences between the 'dnsmasq' and 'dnsmasq-base' packages.
The pointer to the resolvconf documentation, however, is less on-point, since my previous report makes reference already to the resolvconf documentation. Clearly, this isn't a question of how resolvconf works on its own, but how these packages interoperate specifically in an Ubuntu context. It seems odd that understanding how these three packages interdepend in that context requires referring to non-free documentation outside of the project. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284607 Title: resolvconf ignores given dns-servers in /etc/network/interfaces Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in resolvconf package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: resolvconf ignores given dns-servers in /etc/network/interfaces if the interface in question is configured by dhcp: auto em1 iface em1 inet dhcp dns-nameservers 10.161.18.34 10.129.18.34 dns-search xxx.yy the "dns-nameservers"-line is ignored (it shouldn't), while the "dns- search"-line is honoured: # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.0.1 search xxx.yy Together with dnsmasq handling name resolution no names other tan local known ones are resolved.
