Just did a debian apt-get dist-upgrade, new kernel, so rebooted, stone me, blank resolv.conf WTF!

I don't know if you are using a very recent kernel on a Debian system but if you are then any resolv.conf in /etc/ should no longer exist or at least point to /etc/run/resolv.conf/resolv.conf. I think this is all to do with the new /run directory where many things will live in the future including resolv.conf.


Thanks Keith, but neither /run nor /etc/run exist on my system. Kernel is 2.6.38-2
