[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#624159: network-manager: resolv.conf empty after booting

[david]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.4.0-1
Severity: important

After updating to network-manager 0.8.4.0-1, on startup resolv.conf is empty,
apart from the comment "generated by network manager" and I have no internet
access from that PC. I can restore from backup or copy/paste into the file 
upon
which I get Internet access until the next reboot.

The PC has a static IP address. If I enable DHCP, then invoke ifdown and ifup
the resolv.conf file is written OK. I can then disable dhcp and reset to 
static
and after again running  ifdown and ifup the system still works - until the
next reboot.
