Details

Description:
polipo service needs to start after systemd-resolved.service, or you will see the following error:
[code]
polipo[233]: DNS: couldn't open /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
[/code]

This is because when you use systemd-resolved.service rather than dhcpcd/dhcpclient, /etc/resolv.conf will be linked to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf, which is dynamic file created after systemd-resolved.service starts up.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Any
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup and enable systemd-resolved.service
2. Make sure /etc/resolv.conf is linked to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
3. Enable polipo.service
4. Reboot
5. See 'journalctl -b'
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Silence for 9 months. Seems the proposed .service file works.

Please add 'After=systemd-resolved.service' in polipo.service. Thanks.

Maybe the solution is to edit the installed service file https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Editing_provided_unit_files ?

If there's anything to order this after, it should be nss-lookup.target. Ordering after only systemd-resolved is short-sighted.

@Dave I have little knowledge about .target. Then please change to nss-lookup.target.
@Jelle Editing the service file will be undo after package upgrade?

Dunno, my polipo runs even when the system boots without a network connection(=no cable) and works fine later... So I'd prefer Jelle's proposal.

Eric, when you copy the file to the folder /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ and don't create a symlink using "systemctl enable polipo.service" you have a stable service file that won't be touched by any updates.
