Hostname resolution broke because systemd-resolved was split out of the
systemd package, and now it lives in its own package systemd-resolved.
On my system, systemd-resolved is not installed, hence the failure
above. Apparently systemd-resolved is mandatory for the kvm backend?
What about the uml backend?
At a first glance, it seems that debos (and fakemachine) should now
Depend on systemd-resolved. However it's a bit more complicated.
Installing the package systemd-resolved has MAJOR consequences:
- the postinst script will remove /etc/resolv.conf, and replace it with
a symlink to ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf
- the service systemd-resolved will be enabled
This behavior makes sense when a user manually installs systemd-resolved
(because they want to use it for name resolution). But when installing
debos, enabling name resolution via systemd-resolved at the same time is
surely an unintended (and unexpected) effect.
I don't know how to handle that. I don't know if it would be possible to
rework the systemd-resolved package and split it, so that it's possible
to install the binaries, without actually enabling it. Maybe we should
ask the systemd maintainer, but I wanted to get your impression first.
Thanks!
Arnaud

So my system has no problem with resolving addresses, but debos does when
systemd-resolved is NOT installed.
So it looks to me it should be a hard Dependency, not a Recommends.

You can see the commit message below and you can check the diff of the fix at: https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/debos/-/commit/e05ad9e3b7ac3bd8bb9cfa0c6f1fee023ee23284 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d/control: move systemd-resolved from Depends to Suggests systemd-resolved was added to Depends for fakemachine's networking (#1115880), but installing it replaces the host's DNS configuration, which is an unwelcome side effect of installing debos. Since fakemachine 0.0.13, which debos embeds, systemd-resolved is optional: when it is not present on the host, fakemachine generates /etc/resolv.conf inside the machine from the DHCP lease instead. Since debos works without it, Suggests is enough. Recommends would still pull it in by default and change the host's resolver.
