[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#960942: network-manager: only (undocumented) numeric values work for connection.mdns

[David Bremner]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.24.0-1
Severity: normal

In order to get MulticastDNS working with nm and systemd-resolved, I had to set

connection.mdns=1   # for 'resolve'
connection.mdns=2   # for 'yes'

I'm not sure if I missed something about the config file format. From
the documentation it seemed that

connection.mdns=yes

should work, but it did not (i.e. resolvectl status did not show MDNS
enabled, and resolvectl query foo.local fails)
