I wrote that. The last sentence is a bit ugly but I was trying to keep it short. More explicit would have been the following.
After a typical installation of Ubuntu 12.04, /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. If, at the time the machine is upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, /etc/resolv.conf is absent or is a static file instead of the aforementioned symbolic link then, if the administrator wants software running on the machine to continue to make use of the NetworkManager-controlled nameserver then he or she will have to restore the symbolic link at /etc/resolv.conf such that it once again points to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. An easy way to do this is to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf" and to agree when asked if the symbolic link should be created. -- 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
