Comment 5 for bug 1051348

It looks like you're on to something! I created the symlink and rebooted, and domain names are now resolving just fine. Here are the outputs of the commands that you requested:

     $ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
     lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 20 09:51 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

     $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
     # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
     # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
     nameserver 127.0.1.1

     $ ls -l /run/resolvconf
     total 4
     -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 20 09:53 enable-updates
     drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Sep 20 09:53 interface

     $ ls -l /run/resolvconf/interface

     -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 Sep 20 09:53 NetworkManager

     $ for F in /run/resolvconf/interface/* ; do echo === $F === ; cat $F ; done
