           Summary: chroot looses nameresolution becouse resolv.conf links
                    to nonexsistant resolvconf
           Product: Skolelinux
           Version: sarge-rc2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: debian-edu-install
        AssignedTo: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
        ReportedBy: ronny@datapart-as.no


during /usr/sbin/ltsp-build-client's debootstrap of /opt/ltsp/i386,
/etc/resolv.conf is copied into the chroot. This file is a symlink to
/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf. And since resolvconf is not included in the
chroot the chroot will not have a working nameresolution.

the workaround is to
rm /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf >/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/resolv.conf


pere suggested adding the following to /usr/sbin/ltsp-build-client right after
debootstrap, this fixes all future invocations of the script.

# if /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to for example resolvconf, replace it
# with the text
if [ -L $ROOT/etc/resolv.conf ] ; then
    rm $ROOT/etc/resolv.conf
    cat /etc/resolv.conf > $ROOT/etc/resolv.conf
fi
