Hi Dan,
the only thing I know it affecting would be via /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
But that uses /sbin/resolvconf which seems to work - doing the same it does in 
a little test.

root@xenial-test:~# ll /etc/resolv.conf 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 18 08:44 /etc/resolv.conf -> 
../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

root@xenial-test:~# /sbin/resolvconf -a virbr0
search somethingelse

root@xenial-test:~# ll /etc/resolv.conf 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 18 08:44 /etc/resolv.conf -> 
../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

root@xenial-test:~# 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 10.0.4.1
search lxd somethingelse

Worked and the file is still the link it should be.


Have you set something in your openvpn config in regard to 
/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf like setting it for up/down actions?
If you have - does disabling those make the problem no more occur (might just 
not update your dns resolution when logging into the vpn now).
