[Chris J Arges]

Hello Newton, or anyone else affected,

Accepted netcfg into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/1.135ubuntu4.3
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  The DGX server install process uses oem-config to setup certain
  settings.  We are seeing that oem-config-firstboot is replacing the
  /etc/resolv.conf symlink to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf with a hard
  file at /etc/resolv.conf.

  This was confirmed by booting in single user mode after a fresh
  install, and seeing the symlink is still there.  Then go thru oem-
  config-firstboot, and find that the symlink is no longer there when
  that is done.

  We have to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf" to restore that
  symlink.
