Just got my new Mac mini (M1, 2020) spun up and taking it for a test drive. I’m immediately impressed by how many apps that I use are showing up as “Apple” in the Architecture column of the Process Monitor. For apps that still required the old Intel chip, there’s Rosetta. I ran into a weird error message and didn’t find it listed anywhere on Google, yet. I opened my app and got this dialog with a pretty self explanatory, “To open “…”, you need to install Rosetta. Do you want to install it now?”. And then there’s some text explaining why this is a good thing. Then there are three buttons: ?, Not Now, and Install.
I click the Install button. It searches for a bit and then I get this strange message. “This update is not allowed on this system.” How strange.
After a bit of troubleshooting I tracked my issue down. I’d been using DNSCrypt as my DNS provider. It runs locally on port 53. It was working on macOS 11 but stopped working when I updated to macOS 11.0.1. It seems I had created a Catch 22. I could not get DNS because I did not have Rosetta. And I could not get Rosetta because there was no DNS. The little updater was probably confused because I had a network connection, just no DNS. Simple fix: set the DNS to not use DNSCrypt and suddenly Rosetta is installed and happy.
This interesting lesson here is that when I upgraded from 11.0 to 11.0.1, Rosetta was no longer functional and had to be updated.
Excuse me, how to set the DNS to not use DNSCrypt? Thank you!
This is my exact issue. How do you set the DNS to not use DNSCrypt
DNSCrypt is not part of the standard OS but something that I installed. The same symptom should have a similar solution. Check to make sure your computer is on the Internet. If you are using a VPN or otherwise blocking port 53, turn it off. If your ISP blocks DNS queries, you may be out of luck. I never recommend using your ISP’s DNS servers but instead using something like Google or OpenDNS. See Steve Gibson’s DNS Benchmark list.

Change your DNS to 208.67.222.222, remove all other address. It worked for me.
HI! Can you help me here. I also encounter the same issue. Can you help me with the steps? Thank you.
Its does not work for me
