[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#438680: tcl8.4: Changes to /etc/resolv.conf are not handled

[Alexander Kotelnikov]

Package: tcl8.4
Version: 8.4.15-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

The problem reveales for me constantly when I close laptop lid at home
and open it in the office. Tkabber needs to be restarted since tcl calls
like 'socket $host $port' where host is a hostname (not an ip) try to
resolv host using old resolv.conf. Basicly, res_init needs to be called.

The enclosed patch solves the problem for me. Note that to finish the
fix other resolv-related wrappers need to be fixed the same way. Also
-lresolv must be added to LIBS.
