> Do you know why that is not the case for you?

Working theory is that I installed prior to Beta. /etc/resolv.conf was initially created as an actual file and not a symlink. By default, dpkg doesn't overwrite anything in /etc if it already exists since those might be configurations created by a system administrator. Therefore, if a package changed from a static file to a symlink, dpkg won't re-create the file by default. dpkg is the underlying package management system used by apt.
