[elbe-users] replacing /etc/resolv.conf with a symlink

[Ralf Schlatterbeck]

I have a system that manages /etc/resolv.conf in a nonstandard way.
I'm trying to replace /etc/resolv.conf with a symlink to a directory
mounted later (in a NOR flash not the standard rootfs which is on NAND
flash) In the latest version of ELBE (12.2+deb9+build811) I'm unable to
do this.

- I have a debian package "iptna" that contains /etc/resolv.conf as a
  symlink
- I have a finetuning rule (that I find nowhere in the log):
  <command>ln -sf /ipCAT.runtime/etc/resolv.conf /etc</command>
- Both should create the symlink but don't

But resolv.conf ends up as a file containing just the line:

nameserver 10.0.2.3

I have no idea where this comes from and what magic creates it. The file
is identical to the /etc/resolv.conf in the initvm.
The elbe log reports the file is from the debian package which is
clearly wrong (in the debian package it is a symlink):

In elbe-report.txt:
File List
---------
...
[INFO] |+/etc/resolv.conf+|iptna

Any idea how to fix this?
