I confirm the fact that "dig @127.0.0.53 wiki.freedesktop.org" only gives the CNAME response, not the resolution of "annarchy.freedesktop.org." as well, which is sufficient to confirm the fix.
But nevertheless, firefox, wget, ping etc. on wiki.freedesktop.org all work fine, but these use NSS. Google Chrome also works fine (which uses resolv.conf), so this appears to be more like an implementation detail than a major user-visible bug to me? Can you confirm this, or am I missing something? ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1647031 Title: systemd-resolved’s 127.0.0.53 server does not follow CNAME records Status in systemd: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: $ systemd-resolve www.freedesktop.org www.freedesktop.org: 131.252.210.176 2610:10:20:722:a800:ff:feda:470f (annarchy.freedesktop.org) -- Information acquired via protocol DNS in 673.6ms. -- Data is authenticated: no $ ping www.freedesktop.org ping: www.freedesktop.org: Name or service not known $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # 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 # 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver. # run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers. nameserver 127.0.0.53 $ dig +no{cmd,comments,stats} www.freedesktop.org @127.0.0.53 ;www.freedesktop.org.
