Package: libc6
Version: 2.10.1-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
previous versions of the resolver queried the local nameserver if
/etc/resolv.conf was not present or did not contain a nameserver setting:
(SID)ametz...@argenau:~$ dpkg -l libc6 | tail -n1
ii libc6 2.9-27 GNU C Library: Shared libraries
(SID)ametz...@argenau:~$ strace -vf -s 132 getent hosts ftp.at.debian.org 2>&1
| grep ^connect
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 28) = 0
(SID)ametz...@argenau:~$ ls /etc/resolv.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
libc6 2.10.1 is missing this fallback:
SID)ametz...@argenau:~$ strace -vf -s 132 getent hosts ftp.at.debian.org 2>&1
| grep ^connect
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
