Package: totd
Version: 1.5.1-1.1
Severity: serious
Justification: Completely breaks networking
start_resolvconf()
{
if [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] ; then
echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" | /sbin/resolvconf -a lo
fi
return 0
}
stop_resolvconf()
{
if [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] ; then
/sbin/resolvconf -d lo
fi
return 0
}
So this creates:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
in /etc/resolv.conf. This causes resolv.conf to stop using the
nameserver configured with DHCP, completely breaking networking
on the system.
totd is a server, which in no way implies I actually want to use
it as the default nameserver on the server itself--I actually
want to use it for DNS64 for /other/ hosts, this one having both
IPv4 and IPV6 addresses. But in general, I would expect to have
to manually configure using the server on the server itself--the
strategy used above totally breaks the system unless totd is
set up and configured to do something sensible, and even when it's
configured, this is more than likely not what is wanted.
Please consider removing this functionality, or making it optional
and off by default.
Thanks,
Roger
