[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#504622: network-manager: search options in resolv.conf created incorrectly

[andy bezella]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.0~svn4191-1
Severity: normal

after upgrading to network-manager to 0.7.0~svn4191-1 from 0.6.6-2, the search options in my resolv.conf are created incorrectly.

one issue is that the domains in the search path are separated by a "\032" instead of a space (this is also reported in Ubuntu Bug #275288).

the other issue is that resolvconf (apparently used in 0.6.6) was intelligent about merging domain and search lines.  this seems to have been lost now that network-manager has taken over the resolvconf functionality.

pre-upgrade (0.6.6-2) resolv.conf:
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
