[Nix-dev] name resolution in nix packages not working

[Tobias Hammerschmidt]

Hi I'm having a problem here with some packages. It seems that the name 
resolution does not work for packages that I install via nix-env -i. 
Pidgin can't connect to the ICQ login server. Firefox is unable to open 
any web sites (however entering an ip address does work). Has anyone 
experienced something similar?

I'm using nix-0.10.1 and the nix-channel 
http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/channels-v3/nix-stable. My OS is Debian 
GNU/Linux 4.0 (Etch) with kernel 2.6.18-4-686. Please ask me if you need 
further informations.
