[Bug 2067897] Re: Ubuntu 24.04 does not install resolvconf uses systemd-resolved instead which is broken

[Markus Giese]

@john, where is this dns.conf located at ?

"locate dns.conf" does not find the file on my system. I would like to
test your hack as a temporary solution for my VPN server issue (without
my DNS servers the connection is useless)

thanks for clarification

  WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN : the vpn dns server should be added without an
  error

  why can`t I install plain resolvconf which was working perfectly fine in Ubuntu 22.04 (tried to use the binary of 2204, the issue persists, the culprit is systemd in 2404)?
  24.04 forces me to use systemd-resolved which does not work as expected.
