Bug Description

apt-get install cobbler...
add suggestions, try again, add more suggestions, repeat... ok now install
want bind 9 on the system but don't want it to startup( except manually)
bind9 is not configured, so unless it is a cahing name server, it should not be set to start
bind9 fails to be configured

This is actually a problem with the way resolvconf handles bind9, not bind9 directly.

Hi Clint,

OK, but it is common for /etc/resolv.conf not to be a symlick to
/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf.

On the first apt-get run to install bind9, it halted at configuring
bind9 and I had to kill it after waiting many minutes.

I've seen this failure many years ago and it is still there. Should
the file not being a symlink really flummox the perl program that
configures bind9?

I waited a long time before having to use the kill command.

Thanks!
Mike

A new Ubuntu resolvconf package has been prepared by the Debian maintainers.

I ask you to test this new package before we upload it to the Ubuntu repos.

Please install the resolvconf package from ppa:jdthood/resolvconf (https://launchpad.net/~jdthood/+archive/resolvconf) and let me know whether or not you have any problems with it.

  [ Thomas Hood ]
  * Debian fixed bugs (LP: #797339, #871058, #471975, #378844, #894417)
  * Differences from Debian:
    - /sbin/resolvconf:
      + Exit if /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink
    - debian/rules:
      + Install upstart script rather than initscript (LP: #366967, #750423)
    - debian/{pre,post}inst
      + Migrate (to /run) from /var/run, not from /lib/init/rw.
      + [0706f28] Remove old Sys V init scripts and symlinks
  * Thanks to Sander van Grieken for his assistance with this release.

  [ Thomas Hood ]
  * [a83fce3] Depend on a later version of the initscripts package
  * [cfc8349] Use variable instead of hard-coded path for old run dir
    in maintainer scripts, to help shrink the Ubuntu diff.

    Thanks to Josep Lladonosa Capell.
  * [7cdfa73] Move logic details from initscript to /sbin/resolvconf;

    Instead of this, the bind9 package should include a hook script
    /etc/resolvconf/update.d/bind9 as has been requested in #483098.

    fields Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser.  Ref:

  * Rename 'TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_127' to
    'TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS' and make it
    cause the nameserver list to be truncated also after an IPv6
    loopback address. (Closes: #568820)
  * Normalize contents of records -- i.e., strip out comments and
    whitespace and shorten IPv6 nameserver addresses.  This makes
    it easier to implement the change above.
  * Add debian/test-normalization script to test the normalization
    code.
  * Update resolvconf/downup-interfaces template again.

resolvconf (1.50) experimental; urgency=low

[ Thomas Hood ]
  * Also migrate non-symlinked directory /etc/resolvconf/run to
    /run/resolvconf.
  * Be interested in own trigger and enable updates only when triggered.
    This could eliminate some superfluous updates on installation.
    (Evidence that a package is allowed trigger itself:
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/10/msg00175.html)
  * Add section "Usage information for maintainers" to the README file
    discussing the new trigger.
  * Document the "original" file in resolvconf(8). (Closes: #414692)
  * Improve markup of resolvconf(8).

resolvconf (1.49) experimental; urgency=low

[ Thomas Hood ]
  * Standardly keep run-time data in /run instead of /lib/init/rw;
    migrate from /lib/init/rw to /run in the postinst. (Closes: #621503).
    Thanks to Roger Leigh for his help.
  * Create run-time data directories in the preinst instead of in the
    postinst. (Closes: #551999, #563386).  (Do this in /run if that is
    already already available, otherwise in /lib/init/rw, otherwise in
    /etc/resolvconf.)  Now when other packages call resolvconf before
    resolvconf's postinst runs, the data are not lost and no error
    message is printed.
  * If someone has run resolvconf while updates were disabled, update
    when updates are enabled.
  * Include the contents of the original resolv.conf file in the
    database until the first reboot after installation.  The old behavior
    was to omit these contents unless link-tail-to-original was
    selected with the result that information was missing from
    resolv.conf until ifdown-ifup cycles.  The new behavior is not
    correct either, since nameserver addresses are not removed when
    corresponding interfaces are deconfigured, but should have less
    unpleasant consequences than the old behavior.
  * Update the debconf template that discusses the problem just described.
    Whereas before it was recommended that the administrator down and up
    network interfaces, it is now recommended that the administrator
    reboot the system.
  * Add da.po. (Closes: #623079)  Thanks to Joe Dalton.
  * Run debconf-updatepo.
  * Add Depends on initscripts >= 2.88dsf-13.3 which enables /run
    in its postinst, ensuring that /run is available to our postinst.
  * Activate the "resolvconf-event" trigger in postinst and in postrm
    in order to induce other packages to take notice of resolvconf
    being installed (configured) or removed.  When triggered and
    resolvconf is installed, interested packages possessing name server
    information should send it to resolvconf.  See README for details.
    (Closes: #567059)
  * Remove /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolvconf which is obsolete;
    remove it on purge and declare a Breaks: old versions of dhcp3-client
    which used it. (Closes: #591022).
  * Use dh_installifupdown to install ifupdown hook scripts and,
    consequently, Build-Depend on newer debhelper.
  * Update debian/compat to 8.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2.0.
  * Tidy up all maintainer scripts.
