When it works normally I get;

Trying "local"
Host local. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

The system I am hitting this issue on is an upgraded system (rather than a fresh install which wouldn't use ifupdown)

Because this is a serious issue for bionic upgraders I am attaching a debdiff to use 'timeout' to fix the issue for now because release is imminent. Core issue with 'host' probably still needs to be investigated (as this may add 5s delays to boot-up) however the timeout is probably a good backup anyway. In some ways potentially the entire check-dns script should probably be launched under timeout.
