[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#826366: network-manager: does not remove resolv.conf symlink on package removal

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.2.2-2
Severity: serious
Justification: makes alternative network managers fail

I have been having some problems with network-manager recently (as
reported in another bug report), so I thought I'd try out wicd
instead.  I purged NM and the related packages, but wicd would not
work.  I tracked down the reason: /etc/resolv.conf was still symlinked
to the now non-existent file /var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf

So when network-manager shuts down, it should revert /etc/resolv.conf
to a regular file.  This should also be checked when the package is
removed (and unarguably when the package is purged).

Best wishes,

   Julian
