[Bug 437783] Re: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink
Precise now has bind9 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4 so bug #920061 et al (re: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink) may now have been fixed. As I mentioned earlier (in #10), *this* report, #437783, originally reported a distinct bug, namely that of postconf failing to open main.cf and consequently /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/postfix trying to copy /etc/resolv.conf onto itself. The bug is still present in postfix 2.9.1-4. ** Summary changed: - bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink + postfix update-libc.d script tries to copy resolv.conf onto itself.

1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-3 contains this fix but has not been synced to precise.

[Bug 437783] Re: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink
The original problem was postconf failing to open main.cf and /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/postfix trying to copy /etc/resolv.conf onto itself at the line cp /etc/resolv.conf $(/usr/sbin/postconf -h queue_directory)/etc/resolv.conf because postconf -h queue_directory returns a null string. The bug is still present in postfix 2.9.1-2 and has nothing to do with resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink which all the duplicates, except #511314, *do* involve. Somehow or other this report, #437783, or a clone of it, should be detached from all the duplicates and assigned to postfix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437783 Title: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/437783/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 437783] Re: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink
Now to address the bug which all the *duplicates*, except #511314 and #437783, are about, namely, that installing bind9 aborts with resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink. First, resolvconf in Precise no longer returns an error condition if /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink, so the bind9 initscript will not abort any more once resolvconf has been upgraded. Second, bind9 in Precise no longer defaults to registering 127.0.0.1 with resolvconf on start, so the new bind9 initscript will not abort. I fear, however, that failures will still occur on upgrade when the bind9 preinst stops bind9 and neither bind9 nor resolvconf has been upgraded yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437783 Title: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/437783/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

With 19 people marking this as affecting them, and quite a few duplicates, I think this is worthy of raising the importance to Medium. ** Changed in: bind9 (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437783 Title: bind9 failed to start : resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
