Package: libc6 Version: 2.13-36 Severity: minor Dear Maintainers,
Debugging name resulution does not work. According to 'man resolv.conf', it can be enabled by writing options debug in /etc/resolv.conf or by setting RES_OPTIONS=debug when starting a process. I tried to debug problems in dns name resolution. I found out that 'RES_OPTIONS=debug ping a.b.c.d' does not print any debug output. Also no othe program (like wget) does. Writing options debug in /etc.resolc.conf does also not change anything. The problem is that the RES_DEBUG is only considered when DEBUGGING is set. (In res_setoptions() of res_init.c) Not sure if this should be changed (by changeing the code [upstream] or compileing with DEBUG) or the manual page about resolv.conf should be updated and not mention option debug. (The manpage is in the package manpages.) same bug in different system: mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2001/08/27/0005.html -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.13-36 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.1-7 libc6 recommends no packages.
