I don't think anything is 'managing resolv.conf', that's the problem! :-)
I use the 'stub' resolve file created by Network Manager from the
dnsmas.conf file:-
resolv-file=/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf
and this makes most things work OK but it leaves no /etc/resolv.conf
at all which, as I said, upsets some things. I want the local dnsmasq
just to provide DNS cacheing in the system where it is running and
nothing more, the 'upstream' DNS is provided by whatever
/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf points at.
