[Bug 1043335] [NEW] /etc/network/interfaces new requirement for dns-nameservers line is not well documented

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On one machine I have a static (LAN) IP address configured manually in
/etc/network/interfaces, and I have not had to modify that file for
several years.  Immediately after upgrading to precise, the machine had
no DNS, and I eventually discovered that I needed to add a dns-
nameservers line to the "iface eth0 inet static" stanza.  This is not
documented in "man interfaces" and the fix was hard to find.  I think it
should be better documented, and the upgrade process should probably
suggest it.

** Affects: resolvconf (Ubuntu)
