Description Markus Schibli 2021-12-07 13:18:40 UTC

Description of problem:
According to the release notes of rhel9beta https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9-beta/html-single/9.0_release_notes/index#BZ-2020529 should the systemd-resolved service be available as a Technology Preview. Even the systemd-249-7.el9_b.x86_64 package provides systemd-resolved, but in the package there is a broken link to /usr/bin/resolvectl

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-249-7.el9_b.x86_64

How reproducible:
Install rhel9 beta with systemd-249-7.el9_b.x86_64 package. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
# rpm -qa systemd
systemd-249-7.el9_b.x86_64

2. 
# yum provides resolvectl
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Last metadata expiration check: 3:28:29 ago on Thu 02 Dec 2021 05:05:04 PM UTC.
Error: No Matches found

3. 
# ll /usr/sbin/resolvconf 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Oct  2 10:28 /usr/sbin/resolvconf -> ../bin/resolvectl

# ll /usr/bin/resolvectl
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/resolvectl': No such file or directory

# man resolvconf
man: can't open /usr/share/man/man1/resolvectl.1: No such file or directory
No manual entry for resolvconf

Actual results:
The tool resolvectl is not available

Expected results:
The tool resolvectl should be available

Hi,
today I saw that a newer version of systemd package, systemd-249-9.el9.x86_64.rpm, is available, and it looks a bit different now:

# yum provides resolvectl
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

# ll /usr/bin/resolvectl
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/resolvectl': No such file or directory

# man resolvconf
