[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#573868: [resolvconf] resolvconf doesnt handles search entries correctly

[Christoph Thielecke]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.45
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Its possible  to put valid lines from resolv.conf config file to resolvconf to 
update /etc/resolv.conf like nameserver, search, etc:

echo "nameserver 1.2.3,4" | resolvconf -a eth0

updates the nameserver.

That function works fine for nameserver and search but it does wrong for 
domain line:

---------------- begin ------------------

develop:/home/crissi # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# 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 10.111.0.1
search event.linux-tage.de


develop:/home/crissi # echo "domain bla" | resolvconf -a eth0
develop:/home/crissi # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# 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 10.111.0.1
search bla event.linux-tage.de

develop:/home/crissi/ # resolvconf -d eth0

develop:/home/crissi/ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# 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 10.111.0.1
search event.linux-tage.de

---------------- end ------------------

The value of the domain line is appended at search line, which is wrong. It 
should be result in a domain line.
