2020-08-25 00:59:51 Gleep Glorp description By default Ubuntu now uses systemd to manage the nameservers in resolv.conf, so resolvconf and openresolv seem to be redundant. However, it appears that systemd's resolvectl is compatable with resolvconf style commands if symlinked as resolvconf. I'm not really sure how deb packaging works, but if it possible to check for the resolvconf command, and if not found just symlink /usr/bin/resolvectl to /usr/sbin/resolvconf then wg-quick will work without additional packages. See https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/resolvectl.1#compatibility%20with%20resolvconf(8) for more info. Apologies if there is a better place to direct this info.
