[Bug 875950] [NEW] /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf empty on boot

[Andrew Bayliss]

Public bug reported:

I have a machine that serves as a router, with an ADSL modem on one
ethernet port, the rest of my network on the other, and using dnsmasq to
provide DNS/DHCP to the network. In the past dnsmasq and ppp have
happily co-existed, with dnsmasq reading the upstream DNS servers from
/var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf. After upgrading to Oneiric, I'm finding
that /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf is always empty on boot. If I
if{down,up} ppp0, the upstream servers are written to this file, dnsmasq
picks them up and everything starts working.
