Title:
   resolv.conf is a dangling link after every reboot

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I administer more than 100 Linux systems, most of which are desktops
  with more than 1 nic and running Ubuntu LTS. With the advent of 12.04
  our static resolv.conf got replaced by the resolvconf / network-
  manager thing and it causes only trouble. After every reboot
  /etc/resolv.conf is a dangling link pointing to
  ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf which does not exist.

  I have uninstalled network-manager and resolvconf and reinstalled
  them, run dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf and resolvconf --enable-updates,
  did ifdown and ifup on my primary interface and it looks fine.

  But after a reboot the problem is there again: resolv.conf points to a
  non-existing target! Thus those machines cannot access the network any
  more.

  What is the best way to get rid of this whole mess and have properly
  running systems again?

  I don't see any reason why a desktop should dynamically configure the resolver.
  Maybe the maintainer should add a check and leave desktops untouched?

  As this bug affects more than one machine with latest Ubuntu 12.04.02
  LTS I don't see this as a duplicate of bug #366967.
