.local is using avahi which relies on working multicast.
Changes are that your wifi is somehow breaking multicast leading to resolution
failure.
If .local is actually operated by an actual DNS server and not through
avahi, then you should move away from .local and use anything else.
I'm marking this bug as Invalid on the basis that it relies on avahi/mdns and
so isn't even remotely going through the standard DNS resolving process and so
can't be a resolvconf bug. I'd highly recommend reviewing your access point
settings, looking for anything related to multicast in there as that's the most
likely problem, additionally, those routers don't typically route multicast, so
if your wifi is on a different subnet than your wired network, .local
resolution won't work either.
** Changed in: resolvconf (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
