[Bug 1568787] [NEW] resolveconf does not reliable receive nameserver information from network manager

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

resolveconf does not reliable receive nameserver information from
network manager.

In the journal I see things like:

Doing this via dbus seems really odd, but I suspect messages between NetworkManager and the dnsmasq it spawns should not be rejected.
