[Bug 1035098] Re: TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS envvar ignored in /etc/default/resolvconf

[Thomas Hood]

Thanks for the report, but the behavior you describe is correct.  The
"head" and "tail" files are always included in the dynamic resolv.conf
file without any change.

Of the files in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/, only the "base" file has
contents subject to truncation.  That is a better place to put your two
"nameserver" lines. (An even better place is /etc/network/interfaces .)

Title:
  TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS envvar ignored in
  /etc/default/resolvconf

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I created a /etc/default/resolvconf file with the option:
  TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS="yes"
  in it.

  The contents of /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head are:
  ########################################
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

  # local resolver (unbound)
  nameserver ::1
  nameserver 127.0.0.1
  ########################################

  However, after rebooting, I still get my ISP's DNS servers below mine.
