Hi Willem-- Thanks for the followup. It sounds to me like there is still no great suggestion on how to make this work smoothly, or a clear consensus on what we should do to ensure that the DNS = directive works for wg-quick :( On Sat 2019-09-07 08:55:17 +0200, Willem van den Akker wrote: > If resolvectl is symlinked to resolvconf this also should work.

For most modern debian systems, this seems like the simplest approach, but i don't think it's safe to assume it will work automatically yet. Perhaps the systemd source package could ship a systemd-resolvconf binary package that (a) enables and runs the systemd-resolved service automatically, and (b) ships the symlink from /sbin/resolvconf to resolvectl, and (c) Provides: and Conflicts: with resolvconf itself (similar to how openresolv does). I note that the systemd binary package already ships a resolvconf manpage as a symlink to the resolvectl manpage, but it puts it in section 1 of the manual, instead of section 8, so it doesn't manage to conflict with resolvconf or openresolv. that's a little bit weird too :/ I'm cloning this wireguard bug report to the systemd source package to see whether this suggestion is something they'd be willing to consider. Debian systemd maintainers -- feel free to suggest an alternate resolution if you have one you'd prefer. If systemd would do that, then i'd be willing to add a new control line for wireguard-tools as something like this: Recommends: systemd-resolvconf | resolvconf Does this seem like a plausible suggestion? This sort of system integration across multiple potentially conflicting packages is a bit of a pain point in Debian, and it's not clear how to make it work sensibly and easily for everyone. --dkg
