Thanks for the patch!
I wonder a bit why, at least on current Fedora, I'm not getting these
warnings, but surely sysnet_read_config() is the right way to do this,
I didn't know about it.
It looks like passt(1) (the thing for VMs) and passt.te would have the
same problem, at least on openSUSE / SLES.
Would you mind updating your patch to also convert passt.te to
sysnet_read_config(passt_t), assuming it makes sense?

pasta accesses /etc/resolv.conf, which needs search permissions
in openSUSE since the folder structure for the older
sysconfig-netconfig is different than in fedora (which uses
systemd-resolved)
this replaces the manual allow rules with the sysnet_read_config
interface in passt and pasta
