Twice now after an update its done something to the resolve.conf and then paceman can no longer resolve hostnames. This makes Pacman die most spectacularly. The last time I reverted to an unchanged resolve.conf and that worked. But this time I have been unable to get it to work. The annoying thing is drill seems to work just fine. Drill <hostname> seems to find the info without any issues, but paceman and the web are broken.
Much as I love Arch, this kind of strange behavior is enough to make me go look for another distro that works as expected.
And yes, I understand that Arch is not a distro for newbies, but i've been running it off and on for the past 6=8 years and this is the first time i've had this trouble.
Although I am on a different machine I use ArchLinux ARM myself and experienced this problem sometime back. After weeding through a ton of posts I found a reddit entry that worked for me. Check your /etc/systemd/resolvd.conf, and set DNSSEC=no then restart systemd-resolvd. YMMV but it worked for me, am attaching link to post below.
