On Lucid installs (possibly only LiveCD-based installs?), resolvconf is installed, but /etc/resolv.conf is not normally a symlink. This causes the bind9 initscript to barf when it tries to call resolvconf.

After setting a static IP with NetworkManager, my /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink, and has a "# Generated by NetworkManager" line at the top. If I then install -workstation, when it gets to installing bind9, it tries to call resolvconf in the initscript, which barfs with: "Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink"

Killing the postinst process causes the install to finish normally.

Possible workarounds include:

• Identifying this situation (having resolvconf installed, but not used) in the Debathena install script and fixing it or giving the user the opportunity to do so.
• Setting bind9/run-resolvconf to false in debconf

Since this only affects Lucid, there's clearly an upstream bug somewhere, but I don't know where. Insight would be appreciated concerning whether or not this is resolvconf's fault, bind's fault, or networkmanager's fault.

On my lucid VM, with openjdk-6-jdk 6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1 and icedtea6-plugin 6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1, the Athena registration applet (  http://web.mit.edu/register) is not displayed consistently. It failed to display the first time loaded in my tries, then usually (but not always) was displayed when I reloaded the page. Running firefox in a terminal, I see:

The NPE seems to correlate with the applet not appearing.

I saw no problem in a brief test of the Sun JDK.
