I was reminded that libnss-resolve is in 'standard' now, which means it's also installed by default on server and any bugs that affect only the stub DNS resolver without affecting the dbus service - such as this one - do not impact DNS resolution by default on server in 16.10.
(I was wondering why no one had reported it before now.) So, I'm downgrading this from critical to high since it only hits users of 16.10 server in a few corner cases (i.e. containers, chroots without libnss-resolve installed). It should still be SRUed. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Critical => High ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager 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 network-manager package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager source package in Yakkety: Invalid Status in systemd source package in Yakkety: 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.
