[Bug 1795852] Re: "systemd-resolve --status" reports "Failed to get global data: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found."

[tomthumb99]

Got caught in this error after an autommatic distro update to Ubuntu
LTS20.  Not going  to do that again.  (why offer updates that do not
work)

The simple command wored for me after a reboot:===> sudo apt purge
resolvconf

Ugh they keep making this distro more coomplicated, KISS should be
folowed.  Folks just want to browse, not fix an OS each time.  People
going to jump to Chrome-OS it works.

Title:
  "systemd-resolve --status" reports "Failed to get global data: Unit
  dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found."

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  "systemd-resolve --status" reports "Failed to get global data: Unit
  dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found."

  -> resolv.conf only holds two lines:
  --- snip

  nameserver 127.0.0.1
  --- snap

  and "host google.com" leads to
  Host google.com not found: 5(REFUSED)

  dnsmasq is running, but does not know whom to query upstream, because
  "/etc/resolv.conf" only holds the local address.

  "/etc/resolv.conf" is created by "resolvconf". Systems address is
  assigned by dhclient.

  "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf" holds:
  --- snip
  option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;

  send host-name = gethostname();
  request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
          domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
          dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn, dhcp6.sntp-servers,
          netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
          rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
  timeout 300;
  --- snap

  There are three instances of dnsmasq started:
  --- snip

  --- snap

  "/etc/network/interaces" holds:
  --- snip
  # Local loopback
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  --- snap

  What I'd expected after upgrading: working network config with a
  working "/etc/resolv.conf"!
