[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#854663: resolvconf ignores dns entries

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.79
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

either I misunderstood resolvconf or I resolvconf does not recognize dns entries.
In /etc/network/intefaces I have 

-------- snip -----

auto lo eth0 wlan0

iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0


#### at home ######

iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.178.17
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.178.255
        gateway 192.168.178.1
        dns-nameserver 208.67.222.222
        dns-nameserver 208.67.220.220

iface wlan0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.107
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        wpa-driver wext
        wpa-scan-ap 1
        wpa-key-mgt WPA-PSK
        wpa-ssid oberg-freifunk.net
        wpa-psk trustno1.!
        dns-nameserver 208.67.222.222
        dns-nameserver 208.67.220.220

----------- snap --------

But /etc/resolv.conf is showing me this:

------snip -----

# 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 127.0.0.1
                                                                                              
-------- snap --------

IMO the entries for 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 should also appear in resolv.conf. However, they appear in dhcp.conf.

Is this a bug or is this correct this way?

And is it recommended to use resolvconf in changing environments or should resolvconf be uninstalled?

Thanks for any help.

Best regards

Hans
