[Bug 1992310] [NEW] remove, blacklist dibbler

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Steve Langasek (vorlon):

dibbler is a DHCPv6 client and server implementation.  For DNS
integration, it recommends resolvconf, which is buggy and should be
removed (LP: #1990743).  If resolvconf is not installed, it falls back
to writing directly to /etc/resolv.conf, which is incompatible with
systemd-resolved.  Despite this being true since 2017, there appears to
have been no effort by the Debian maintainer or upstream to integrate
with resolved instead of resolvconf.

There are three supported DHCPv6 client implementations in Ubuntu main
today (networkd, NetworkManager, isc-dhcp-client) and one supported
DHCPv6 server implementation (isc-dhcp-server; to be replaced with ISC
kea soon).  It does not serve our users to have another, poorly-
integrated DHCPv6 implementation in the archive.  We should remove and
blacklist this.
