Thanks Alex, Its a similar problem, (resolv.conf no longer a symlink) but I think its related to running the openvpn manager and bailing out half way through a vpn setup.
Apologies I dont have anything more conclusive, but I do recall it breaking resolv.conf and thus DNS which I manually fixed. solution to get me going was to; $ sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf $ sudo ln -s /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf $ sudo apt-get -f install problem goes away.
