I've installed resolvconf-gentoo played with it for a while and removed it. Next time I rebooted bootmisc reported an error and stopped system boot. After investigating I found out that I still have /etc/resolv.conf link pointing to /etc/resolvconf/run/ folder which doesn't exist any more. That way bootmisc cheching with -f for /etc/resolv.conf haven't found anything and was unable to touch /etc/resolv.conf. Personally I think boomisc should receive an extra line which would check if resolv.conf is symbolic link and if yes should check if file actually exists. If not standard rm && touch would do.


Reproducible: Always
