Comment 0 for bug 1763108

I did a plain standard lxd deploy of xenial, using the default images. Upgraded it to the latest xenial packages, and then issued a release upgrade to bionic.

At the end of the upgrade process, rebooted, and when the system came back up, /etc/resolv.conf had no nameserver entries:

root@xenial2bionic:~# 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
# 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.
# run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers.

That was its whole content. Before the upgrade, in xenial, it had:
root@xenial2bionic:~# 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 10.0.100.1
search lxd

systemd-resolve in the system after the upgrade to bionic was working just fine:
root@xenial2bionic:~# systemd-resolve --status
