Oh, isn't it alwaysthe way. You post a question, then figure out the
answer minutes later. Sigh.

I had forgotten that /etc/resolv.conf is in fact a link to a file
maintained by resolvconf. At some stage while I was testing something or
other I must have removed /etc/resolv.conf, then in my haste put back
actual data rather than just restoring the link.

The solution was as follows:

   sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
   sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
   sudo restart resolvconf

Sorry for the noise.

Regards, K.
