Bug Description

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

I connect to certain MIT networks via both wired and wireless connections.

Afterwards, I connect to a home network.

EXPECTED:

Domains like http://web.mit.edu resolve.

OBSERVED:

They don't.

The file /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf contains only these lines:

nameserver 127.0.0.53
search mit.edu hsd1.ma.comcast.net

It would seem hsd1.ma.comcast.net is correct, since that describes my ISP. But the mit.edu is erroneous and prevents applications from correctly resolving mit.edu domains.

If I manually edit this file and remove "mit.edu" from the search line, the domains then resolve correctly. Shouldn't this be removed automatically?

Hi,

I think this is a duplicate of bug 1713457 where resolvconf is not removing the old search domains from the list when disconnecting.
