Title:
  resolvconf is racy, which leads to broken resolv.conf in parallel
  calls

Status in resolvconf package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in resolvconf source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  It has been found that simultaneous calls to resolvconf can lead to
  inconsistent content in resolv.conf. For instance, no nameservers
  while NetworkManager has one in its record (see LP: #1824395):

  $ cat /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

  $ cat /run/resolvconf/interface/NetworkManager
  nameserver 192.168.1.6
  nameserver 192.168.1.2

  This can happen easily when calling "netplan apply", which can re-
  start both networkd and NM. resolvconf is called at that point by the
  "systemd-networkd-resolvconf-update.service" service, and also
  directly by NetworkManager, which leads to the situation described
  above. This is not surprising as there is nothing preventing different
  instances of resolvconf to access the same files. This sort of
  situation can be reproduced by running in a loop commands like:

  $ printf "\n" | sudo resolvconf -a NetworkManager & printf "\n" | sudo resolvconf -a networkd
  $ printf "nameserver 80.58.61.250\n" | sudo resolvconf -a NetworkManager & printf "\n" | sudo resolvconf -a networkd

  Eventually, this leads to a resolv.conf that is not consistent with
  the last run command.
