Description

resolv.conf may not exist or be populated in the chroot of nanobsd upgrades on 2.3.x+. pkg uses that for fetching the files, so in that case, the upgrade will fail by being unable to fetch the pkg files.

The situation where they fail is where DNS Forwarder or Resolver are not bound to localhost. If resolv.conf doesn't exist, FreeBSD uses 127.0.0.1. Thanks to cjl for tracking that down.

Sorry, but it seems not to be solved. I just upgraded from 2.3.2 to 2.3.2-p1 (NanoBSD) and the procedure still hangs on the resolv.conf problem.

I solved with the following lines:

local _resolv_conf=$(readlink -f /etc/resolv.conf)
_exec "unlink ${chroot_dir}/etc/resolv.conf" mute ignore_result
_exec "cp -f ${_resolv_conf} ${chroot_dir}/etc/resolv.conf" \
"Copying resolv.conf to upgrade partition" mute ignore_result
