Details

Description:
An quite empty /etc/resolv.conf is created since the latest dhcpcd update.

# Generated by dhcpcd
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line

Additional info:
* core/dhcpcd 4.0.2-1 (base)
* DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network @autowifi httpd mysqld sshd netfs crond dbus hal cups kdm)


Steps to reproduce:
Have more network interfaces configured (in example: eth0, wlan0 using autowifi).

Since either one of those will not receive a IP address, an empty /etc/resolv.conf is created.

See the gentoo bug report
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=239098
which also includes a fix for dhcpcd - fixing this problem (which seems to exist since 4.0.1)

Kind regards,
Georg

that patch is already included in 4.0.2

Hmh, at least for me, it's still there anyway.

The problem I have is simply that my resolv.conf stays empty since 4.0.2.

Please close, fixed with 4.0.4-1
