Actually, I added 'nameserver 127.0.0.1' to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and ran 'resolvconf -d'. This means that my problem actually belongs to bug #552010. It is regrettable that this nasty known problem is propagated to testing without warning. If I would have had only one computer, I would have been forced to go to the competition to be able to report the problem. :-) Thanks for your quick reply. Simon Pepping

I have a similar problem after upgrade, but the consequences are less serious: lookup in the browser and similar apps is disfunctional: The consequences are serious enough though, because almost all web browsing is disabled.
