Comment 7 for bug 993666

I have also encountered this problem today with a fresh install of Ubuntu Precise, and following the devstack quick start instructions. The script failed while it was trying to download Cirrus UEC images.

Resolving launchpad.net (launchpad.net)... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `launchpad.net'

I could see that all my nameservers had been removed from resolv.conf

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Did the patch ever get merged into the master branch?

Can anyone suggest a work around?
