On distributions that do not contain resolvconf, no symlink to /etc/resolv.conf is created during the installation of systemd. There should be one created.
For example, the stock Lubuntu 20.04 doesn't install resolvconf, and resolv.conf is not a symlink to any file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713578 Title: Migrate /etc/resolv.conf from resolvconf to systemd-resolved Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Moving off of resolvconf and to systemd-resolved requires that resolv.conf is properly handled both in the case of new installs (done as per 234-2ubuntu9 at least), but also in the case of upgrades from previous releases or previous versions of systemd. There are various use cases to take into account: 1) upgrades where resolv.conf is more or less default and dynamic, uses DHCP via ifupdown (servers), or 127.0.1.1/DHCP settings from NetworkManager (desktops), etc. 2) upgrades from manual resolv.conf settings (the user has written their own, it's static) 3) upgrades from manual resolv.conf managed via resolvconf. 3) No resolv.conf? Lack of resolv.conf is simple, writing one is always sane. Upgrades from dynamic files is also straightforward, copying it to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf will keep the current state; /etc/resolv.conf will be symlinked to that. In the case of a manually-configured resolv.conf; whether it comes from resolvconf or is manually configured is non-trivial if we want to maintain the current DNS configuration and also remove resolvconf. The removal of resolvconf can be forced, but what do we do about the existing /etc/resolv.conf file, knowing that /run is a tmpfs?
