elonsatoshi created T3717: I am tired of errors like Connection Closed in DNS, Server Indicated a Failure, No Keyserver Available, and Not Enabled when trying to do something with a keyserver.

You know... I think connman and DNS have something to do with this. Connman does some weird DNS thing. And it auto-generates /etc/resolv.conf to use localhost as the DNS server.

Well, I'm able to reproduce this issue on Parabola. I was also get a different error when I turn off my vpn: `server indicated a failure```, but now I get the dns error again.
