Public bug reported:
apt-get remove resolvconf incorrectly leaves a symlink from
/etc/resolv.conf to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. apt-get purge
resolvconf leaves that symlink with no target, so DNS is broken.
The problem is in postrm: it's examining /etc/resolv.conf to see if it's
a link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, but it's a relative link to
../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, so the comparison fails, resulting in the
failures above.
