Title:
  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS upgraded to 14.04 LTS via 12.04 LTS does not have
  proper name resolution

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, /etc/resolv.conf was a real file managed by
  Network Manager. In 12.04 LTS, the new default was a symlink to
  /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, but an upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 12.04
  LTS does not change the previously NM managed file.

  In 12.04 LTS, name resolving continues to work. However, similar to
  bug #1308378 (see also bug #1000244) this becomes a problem when an
  upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS is made.

  Suggested wiki text:

   * If the system was originally installed as 10.04 LTS, and then
  upgraded to 14.04 LTS via 12.04 LTS, network name resolving is not
  working. A manual workaround is needed. (Bug:1355868)

  And the workaround:
  cd /etc
  sudo rm resolv.conf
  sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf .
