Package: wicd Version: 1.5.9-2 Severity: normal I am frequently using wicd 1.5.9-2 as well as ppp connections and have the following problem (also detailed here http://wicd.net/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=389 ):
On disconnect with wicd, nameserver entries remain in /etc/resolv.conf. So, when connecting with ppp later on, name resolution is very slow since the now incorrect nameserver information is retained. I found that manually deleting the files in /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/ after diconnecting with wicd resolves this issue. Steps to reproduce: - Connect to a network using wicd - A file is created automatically in /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/ with dns info for this connection - Disconnect with wicd - Open a ppp connection (tried with kppp and pon) - /etc/resolv.conf contains entries from old (wicd) connections before those from the ppp connection, making dns resolution very slow Workaround: - Remove files from /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/ after disconnecting with wicd If more info is required, I will gladly supply it.
