Bug description:
[impact]
'man systemd-resolve' fails
[test case]
$ man systemd-resolve
No manual entry for systemd-resolve
[regression potential]
incorrect man page result for resolvectl or resolvconf, or possibly
users using deprecated systemd-resolve longer than they should
[scope]
this is needed in f and later
systemd-resolve was replaced with resolvectl between b and f, so the
man page exists in b
[other info]
the systemd-resolve binary is a symlink to the real binary resolvectl, and users should use resolvectl for all new uses. A patch to the upstream man page was proposed and merged in this PR:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20064
however that is being discussed and may be reverted in this PR:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20077
as discussed in the revert PR, it's ok for upstream to elide docs
about deprecated tooling; however distros should include deprecation
info and thus I believe it's appropriate to include the man page
symlink so users trying 'man systemd-resolve' will get the correct
'resolvectl' man page, which includes doc about how they shoudl start
using 'resolvectl' instead
[original description]
On my Focal machine there is no file /usr/share/man/man1/systemd-resolve.1.gz
This means that man systemd-resolve fails.
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man1/systemd-
resolve.1.html exists and has a link on top to 20.04LTS: it points to
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man1/systemd-
resolve.1.html , that however 404's, and one ends up being redirected
to Bionic's.
