Well, that's not really my habit.

I'll go over what happened:

- I installed the meta package gnome
- It installed network-manager
- network-manager left me with an empty /etc/resolv.conf
  (except for a helpful message that the file had been
  generated by network-manager -- at least you know where
  the problem comes from)
- this obviously breaks other packages that access the
  network, e.g. firefox.

Are you saying that I hallucinated /etc/resolv.conf being
emptied? 

Or do you disagree that this is a problem with gnome and I
should take it to the network-manager people?

Cheers,
Y.
