[gentoo-user] No /etc/resolv.conf with dhcpcd

[Richard Watson]

Hi - For a while now when I run 
# dhcpcd eth1
I get an IP address OK but no DNS. I've established that a 
/etc/resolv.conf file is not being created when the command is being 
run. 

There's a script invoked at some stage called
/etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc. This is creating a file with all the DNS 
information called /var/run/resolvconf/interfaces/eth1 (or eth2 
depending on the interface raised). However it's not then creating 
/etc/resolv.conf. I can get around this by running my own script to
copy 
the DNS information to /etc/resolv.conf but it would be good to figure 
out why it's not working.

I attach output of my /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc below if anyone can 
help. I've tried reemerging the package (unsuccessfully).

Thanks, Richard
