Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2012-11-15 14:47:52 CET 
That would be either initscripts or resolvconf
(/etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime or /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc)

Comment 2 David Walser 2012-11-16 04:27:56 CET 
Likely resolvconf, which I updated (synced with ROSA).

Possibly this patch:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/resolvconf/current/SOURCES/resolvconf-1.68-symlink.patch?revision=311682&view=markup

If the problem is here, we should tell ROSA too.
