https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/47225

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 6.5.10_1 x86_64

### Package(s) Affected

iwd-2.8_1

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

when you install iwd it should work but it does not install openresolv so it cannot work.

### Actual behaviour

gives issue about resolvconf

### Steps to reproduce

I had iwd and networkmanager installed then I uninstalled networkamanager and couldn't use wifi. I had to chroot into the system to fix it.
all you have to do to fix this issue is add openresolv to the dependencies list of iwd

Comment:
I don't think that there is a reason for this to be a dependency of iwd, much less in Void where only hard dependencies without which the program would not run at all are usually added. I use iwd but have never heard of openresolv before and do not have it installed and yet I am not experiencing any such problems. I think you rather want to look into your iwd configuration or get/properly configure a DHCP daemon.

No, my configuration is handled automatically by dhcpcd.

I have the default dhcpcd config file and here is my iwd config
`
[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=false
[Network]
NameResolvingService=resolvconf
`

Comment:
I think `Network.NameResolvingService` only matters when using the iwd built-in dhcp client (i.e. `General.EnableNetworkConfiguration=true`), and it should default to resolvconf.

https://man.voidlinux.org/iwd.config#Network

@NAHTAIV3L if you were to switch to dhcpcd, you would need to enable the dhcpcd service, I believe, but you shouldn't need to do that if you want to use only iwd.

Comment:
I don't think I have ever made any changes to the default configuration
of either dhcpcd or iwd on my machine, so it should work out of the box
if you have both installed, haven't modified the configuration of either
and don't have any conflicting packages.

In particular, according to the Arch wiki dhcpcd page [1], dhcpcd should
relay DNS configuration to resolvconf if it's available or manage
/etc/resolv.conf directly if it's not.
