Bug 201741: Fix DNS resolving incompatibility with Net::DNS 1.01
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201741



--- Description ---
Created attachment 159045

files/patch-DnsResolver.pm

Now that a port dns/p5-Net-DNS has been upgraded to version 1.01,
this revealed an incompatibility with DNS resolving in SpamAssassin.

In short: Net::DNS::Packet->new no longer sets the RD (recursion
desired) bit in new packets, so essentially DNS queries no longer
work. Details at:
  https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7223

To bridge the time until SpamAssassin 3.4.2 gets released,
the attached patch is needed ( equivalent to
  https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=1691992 ).

For earlier version of dns/p5-Net-DNS this patch is redundant,
but does no harm.
