Yeah, resolvectl(1) is part of the systemd conglomerate so it would be worrying if it was found.

You can stop resolvconf(8) from managing /etc/resolv.conf by adding this line /etc/resolvconf.conf:

resolvconf=NO

See https://wiki.debian.org/resolv.conf for more on this.

EDIT: in case you're wondering what you're missing:

$ resolvectl
Global
           Protocols: -LLMNR -mDNS +DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=yes/supported
    resolv.conf mode: stub
  Current DNS Server: 9.9.9.10#dns.quad9.net
Fallback DNS Servers: 1.1.1.1#cloudflare-dns.com 9.9.9.10#dns.quad9.net 8.8.8.8#dns.google
                      2606:4700:4700::1111#cloudflare-dns.com 2620:fe::10#dns.quad9.net
                      2001:4860:4860::8888#dns.google

Link 2 (enp2s0f0)
Current Scopes: none
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS +DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=yes/supported

Link 3 (enp5s0)
Current Scopes: none
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS +DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=yes/supported

Link 4 (wlan0)
Current Scopes: none
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS +DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=yes/supported
$

As you can see it's a really nice tool: a caching resolver with full support for DNSSEC, LLMNR, mDNS and DNS over TLS.

So Ubuntu is using systemd-resolved then.

If you read (or share) the entire file it probably explains that the content is managed by another program — usually either NetworkManager or resolvconf — and that any edits will be over-ridden. You should either make your edits to the configuration of the controlling program or stop that program from managing resolv.conf.

It is still noticeably faster on Ubuntu, though.

Try adding the options edns0 line as well. The round robin might be able to take advantage of the DNS extensions mandated by RFC 2671.

whereas Devuan shows (on the same Computer)

nameserver 192.168.1.1
search home-life.hub

EDIT: it seems that after reboot, the OpenNIC setting is deleted; but today, the downloads seem fine, in terminal it takes only around/under 1 second, to initate the download/installing process. It is still noticeably faster on Ubuntu, though.

resolver delay is usually caused by ISP nameservers (resolvers).
some routers support editing nameservers so maybe you have luck changing default(ISP) nameservers to other public resolvers, and have your whole lan/devices, resolving(+loading) web quicker..

within your/any OS you can change nameservers and use eg. opennic (as you did on /etc/resolv.conf) or by editing settings in network managers connection.( usually ip settings -> nameservers -> enter your own manually...
another way is to install a local resolver (like unbound), which can also cache domain queries and make them faster...(search around guides on how to set local resolvers like unbound, plenty available online. can also help if needed).

kind-of-a-disclaimer : you would probably get same results when using any other public resolver eg. google, cloudflare, etc. opennic is a volunteer project not tied to internet mafias (ICANN or MAFIA). so, privacy friendly for sure... but anyway, that was my personal suggestion, you can use whatever resolver you like instead.

@xinomilo, wow, big thanks ! using another mirrored fixed.

don§t know what changed, but with this "openNic" the download-things was superfast!

was thinking there is something wrong with my computer or cable , as i noticed also on ubuntu 18.04 LTS a big lag .

I moved the Computer into another room, and the cable is maybe 10 - meter long, and a little bit "twisted" here and there, but everything seems ok , otherwise, just those terminal commands taking way too long for my experience.
for now this seems a great "fix", but still am a bit baffled because of those delays in normal mode.

this looks like an error with particular mirror repository. reproducible error here.
so, pick another mirror from the list, `apt update` and retry... works fine here using a different mirror.

@Head_on_a_Stick,

Great, thanks!

solution1 > changing to other devuan server in /etc/apt/sources.list did not achieve a betterment.
solution2> changing the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf seems to really make the process go fast, but it would ultimately fail to download the packages?

I provided a link to the list in post #5.

Here it is again in non-obfuscated form:

EDIT: and yes, aptitude is hellaslow. Don't use it if you're in a hurry.

That won't work — the format for the line would be

nameserver 94.247.43.254

But I don't think it would make much difference anyway because your ISP's DNS resolution isn't terribly slow and it appears to be caching requests.

@xinomilo , thanks i tried this opennic by just inserting

ontop of /etc/resolv.conf , but apt still takes around 10 seconds to initiate. (less time if smaller packages, but no regularitiy, time varies consistently)

Tried also with aptitude, seems even slower.

dummy@example.com (xinomilo) — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 19:46:13 +0000

it does sound like resolver issue.. you could try with a faster dns server instead of 192.168.1.1 (lan router), to see if that makes things go faster..
eg. pick one from https://opennic.org and add it in the top of /etc/resolv.conf and retry apt...
---
another guess, perhaps you have something like etckeeper or apt-listchanges installed?
packages like that hook into apt and could be slowing it.. (?) it's just a guess, but you could check/post what's in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d .

ls -la /etc/apt/apt.conf.d

after the first

dig deb.devuan.org

afterwards mostly 0msec , to 7msec.

I dont know if need Avahi, took it only because as sample at hand.

opening webpages most of the times is reasonably speedy.

removing

mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]

would not make any noticeable difference, if any, it took even longer to initiate the install of packages.

Really odd behaviour, the computer should be capable of being fast enough for simple tasks.

Oops, sorry. I presume there's a commented line at the top of sources.list?

Let's try again:

dig deb.devuan.org

Run the command a few times to see if the Query time value changes significantly.

Do you still experience the delay if you replace http://deb.devuan.org/merged with a specific mirror?

Do you experience a delay when opening any web pages in the browser for the first time?

Does removing the mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] statement fix the delay?

Why do you need Avahi anyway?
