So this bug should be reassigned again, but where? Is it still my bug; can I reassign it? Summary: I am configuring a netinst install to use PPP. In first stage "Configure the network", no ethernet card is selected and so no /etc/resolv.conf is created. That is the bug. Then in second stage, pppconfig is selected to create a dialup connection. The connection succeeds but APT fails because the DNS server entries cannot be written to /etc/resolv.conf since that file is missing and it is the job of some program other than pppconfig to create it.
