Hello,

this is my first trixie install. I had to configure the network manually due to the configuration of the VM host. I did a typo in the DNS IP Address (fec0:0:0:fff::1 instead of fec0:0:0:ffff::1). That ended up in /etc/resoolv.conf in the target system and of course made the installation of additional packages fail. I then backed up to the network configuration and fixed the issue, and was faced with the installation of additional packages failing again. Inspecting on the shell turned out that /etc/resolv.conf in the installer got fixed, but /target/etc/resolv.conf still had the wrong address. I used an editor to fix /target/etc/resolv.conf and was able to continue installing.

Greetings
Marc
