I don't think that's correct. They have the same *name*, but they have entirely different invocations, means of operation, configuration, and so on. Neither one is a drop-in replacement for the other. That's part of what makes the whole situation so egregious. And it turns out there's a potential third one, too -- systemd's resolvctl has special behavior if invoked by a symlink named resolvconf. Fortunately for us, no such symlink exists by default, so all that's present is a confusing man page. > And would it be correct to add: > > If resolvconf is installed ●and you're using ifupdown●, > you can [add] dns-nameserver entries in the appropriate > stanza(s) in /etc/network/interfaces: That one's pretty good. I added something similar to the page.
