[Bug 2017792] [NEW] ifupdown on Ubuntu 22.04 fails to set DNS correctly -> DNS resolution does not work

[Thomas Dreibholz]

Public bug reported:

On a Ubuntu 22.04 system with /etc/network/interfaces configuration
(ifupdown) instead of Netplan, DNS is not set correctly. Therefore, DNS
resolution does not work.

This explains the issue:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/714901/dns-broken-when-using-
ifupdown-and-systemd-resolved-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-22-0

Solution:

Fix in /etc/network/if-up.d/resolved:
Old: "$DNS"="$NEW_DNS"
New: $DNS="$NEW_DNS"

Old: "$DOMAINS"="$NEW_DOMAINS"
New: $DOMAINS="$NEW_DOMAINS"

/etc/network/if-up.d/resolved writes files
/run/network/ifupdown-<PROTOCOL>-<INTERFACE> containing the DNS
configuration. The fix ensures that the files
/run/network/ifupdown-<PROTOCOL>-<INTERFACE> contain the correct syntax
without quotes for the variable name.
