Bug#879216: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service:22: Executable path is not absolute: !!/lib/systemd/systemd-resolved

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: systemd
Version: 235-2
Severity: normal

Something about the service configuration for systemd-resolved doesn't
match what the service manager expects.   What does it mean to start an executable path with "!!" ?
