Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 3.38.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #966510

Dear Maintainer,

I have dicovered that the issue was not caused by VLAN, but by the DNS
configuration of the host LAN. The first DNS resolver was configured to refuse 
most DNS request. The host used the secondary DNS resolver provided, but QEMU
in "user mode" networking uses only the first nameserver provided. This is
a known behavior, which was declared as "Won't fix" for QEMU in the past.
See message #28 for bug #625689 for details why:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625689#28

I do not see how Boxes could workaround that without tradeoffs. So, I believe
that this bug report is invalid and should be closed. Sorry for false alarm.

Best wishes
Roman
