[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#784587: network-manager: does not set up resolv.conf

[Norbert Preining]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks conectivity

Hi,

today's update of NM broke connectivity. Even a restart of the system
didn't bring it back. The reason is that /etc/resolv.conf was empty,
containing only
	# Generated by NetworkManager
without any other information.

Checking the journal, I see that it *did* get a ns:
  NetworkManager[694]: <info>    address 10.0.0.18
  NetworkManager[694]: <info>    plen 24 (255.255.255.0)
  NetworkManager[694]: <info>    gateway 10.0.0.1
  NetworkManager[694]: <info>    server identifier 10.0.0.1
  NetworkManager[694]: <info>    lease time 86400
  NetworkManager[694]: <info>    nameserver '10.0.0.1'
and manually adding the name server fixed the problem.

Since this breaks connectivity (think about a remote server that
suddently is offline), this is serious bug.

Thanks

Norbert
