What Toby and Bendi report is similar to what has been reported at (Linux Mint) bug #1004421. There people say that doing "dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf" and agreeing to linkify suffices to fix the problem.
Toby has the Cisco AnyConnect client installed. The submitter of bug #1002783 (a duplicate of #1004421) has the Juniper Network Connect VPN client. I haven't looked, but it wouldn't surprise me if these clients delete the /etc/resolv.conf symlink at some point. Bendi, however, has vpnc. I have looked at the vpnc scripts and can't find anything in there that would delete the symlink. Did Cerin, pdf, Louis, ubck and peterlauri all have one or more of these VPN clients installed? I doubt it. Probably there is more than one thing out there that's clobbering /etc/resolv.conf. Can anyone *reproduce* the bug, installation after installation? If so, please let us know, then we can go a-hunting. E.g., Bendi, if you can reproduce the bug then I'll ask you to repeat the installation but to omit vpnc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
