[Bug 1725840] Re: resolvconf not correctly configured after update from 17.04 to 17.10

+1 for the issue.

Its broken for some VPN cases. Maintainer please note that some VPN
application updates DNS with resolvconf package and removes those
setting on exist. This is breaking the DNS resolution in some rare
cases.

Title:
  resolvconf not correctly configured after update from 17.04 to 17.10

Status in resolvconf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After having updated my laptop from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10, the DNS
  lookup on my wireless network connection did not work any more.

  As it seems, the file /etc/resolv.conf was static and contained wrong
  data assigned by the NetworkManager. When I changed the file content
  manually to

    nameserver 127.0.0.53

  DNS lookup worked fine. After reboot, however, I had to repeat this
  operation since NetworkManager seems to have replaced the file
  content.

  Finally, I found a solution. Running

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf

  the file /etc/resolv.conf was replaced by the link

  /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

  Now, the wireless network seems to work properly.

  Hence, there must be some kind of bug during the update process from
  Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10 that impedes resolvconf to be configured
  properly.

  Best regards,

  Artur
