Public bug reported:

I use dnsmasq as a local DNS on my ethernet network, while I have a shared wifi connection on the same PC.
I had to solve some conflicts with NetworkManager (by commenting the line dns=dnsmasq in NetworkManager's configuration).
It worked, but dnsmasq didn't see when the computer's DNS configuration was updated (namely, when the wifi connection was turned on or off).
After some Internet search, I found a forum, explaining that there was a conflict between NetworkManager and resolvconf packages, with the same symptoms as my problem (the resolv.conf file was saying "configured by resolvconf", and not "configured by NetworkManager", and was not updated with wifi DNS). This forum explained that resolvconf could be uninstalled, as NetworkManager was doing the job.
So I uninstalled resolvconf, which work perfectly: NetworkManager now updates resolv.conf file, and dnsmasq takes it into account.
But since I did it, I have this error on each start-up.
