Description Konstantin Tokarev 2020-09-24 13:43:58 UTC

After connection net-vpn/openconnect writes DHCP info into /etc/resolv.conf, however net-misc/dhcpcd overwrites it. As a result, internal domain names of VPN network are inaccessible.

If net-misc/dhcpcd is known to conflict with net-vpn/openconnect and there is a different dhcp client I should be using instead, it should be reflected in ebuild conflict.

Reproducible: Always

There is really nothing I can do about this. You’ll need to configure one of them not to write resolv.conf.

Both packages support call net-dns/openresolv to manage resolv.conf, so you might try installing that.

Thanks, it worked.
