#5805 Reinstalling of the DNS subsystem tries to put localhost as forwarder
Opened by mbasti. Modified

Open
Close Issue 
Do you want to configure DNS forwarders? [yes]:  
Following DNS servers are configured in /etc/resolv.conf: 127.0.0.1
Do you want to configure these servers as DNS forwarders? [yes]: 
All DNS servers from /etc/resolv.conf were added. You can enter additional addresses now:
Enter an IP address for a DNS forwarder, or press Enter to skip: ^CCancelled.

We should keep original forwarders when DNS subsystem is reinstalled.

    pv: how hard is it? How often admins reinstall dns subsystem? Is it because of DNS Sec?
    mbasti: yes, mainly for DNSSEC, but not 4.4 for sure, it is just unpleasant to retype forwarders, 4.5 minor?
    pspacek: This is about --auto-forwarders option which is unrelated to DNSSEC.
    mbasti: use case for reinstallable DNS was DNSSEC
    It is not hard we have to store original values (sysrestore?), but not easyfix
    pv: Future releases then
    [mkosek] ok
    pspacek: 4.5 or later as this should be fixed systematically. We are talking about idempotent installers here.

Metadata Update from @mbasti:
- Issue assigned to someone
- Issue set to the milestone: Future Releases

Is this even an issue? Do we allow re-installing DNS?

Metadata Update from @rcritten:
- Issue close_status updated to: None

Re-installing is allowed, it is a way how to add/remove dnssec
