This "wicd" bit is what explains why "connecting and disconnecting" would actually make a difference :-) - OTOH, I wonder when glibc started stat()ing resolv.conf to notice changes on its own... Google finds these threads... http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-12/msg00416.html http://www.eglibc.org/archives/patches/msg00778.html ... so maybe it is a fairly recent change that not all distributions have picked up yet :-) > And Gert - thank you for your work on the above bug - it's been annoying > me in the background for years! Well, the actual kudos goes to "ngharo" who opened trac#523 with a detailed description of what's happening behind the scenes - I learned quite a bit about system dependencies and client resolvers in the process of reproducing and fixing this :-) But anyway. Code has been committed, 2.3.7 will be released this week.
