Comment 6 for bug 989585

Honestly, I don't know....I am the Admin and its my desktop. I don't
remember messing with /etc/resolv.conf, but I can't swear I didn't at
some point in the past.

I just thought that the error thrown up was caused by a glitch in the
upgrade process. Usually, I don't upgrade OS'es....I wipe and start
again. But the last few times with Ubuntu I have upgraded. Each time
there was something small which caused an error, but nothing which was
a showstopper, so I would usually let the upgrade finish and sort out
the error afterwards if necessary.....I just assumed this was another
one of those.

Sorry....this probably doesn't help much with this incident (I can't
even call it a bug really ;-)....
