Yes, the contents of my /etc/resolv.conf is the same as /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original
I'm pretty sure I didn't manually answer any questions about resolv.conf when setting things up. I did a standard linux mint install and then at a later point installed the Cisco AnyConnect client from the university's website. I can confirm that the AnyConnect VPN client does indeed muck with resolv.conf when a VPN connection is established. It moves resolv.conf to resolv.conf.vpnbackup and puts its own resolv.conf in place. When you disconnect, it swaps the old one back in. However this does seem to be a move operation, not a copy/delete. I last rebooted the machine on June 20th. Since then I have started/stopped the VPN several times but the timestamp on resolv.conf.vpnbackup is still June 20th. So it might not be the cause of the unlinkification. -- 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
