[SOLVED] /etc/resolv.conf resets on reboot ever since I switched routers

After I moved to a new router (H153-381), its DNS couldn't detect deb.devuan.org ("Temporary failure resolving 'deb.devuan.org' ") so I edited /etc/resolv.conf to include 8.8.8.8 which helped, but it constantly gets overwritten (on reboot or network restart). Using the resolvconf package didn't help. Editing /etc/network/interfaces to add dns-search didn't help. I don't have udhcp. What could be the cause, either of resolving issues or of resetting, and remedy? I am using a fully updated excalibur.

Thanks, but I don't have either network-manager or connman.
The solution it seems to be is to edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to prepend additional DNS servers

Have you looked at the package resolvconf?

Your thread title is misleading.

Your manual changes are being overwriiten, because the file is overwritten. Previously this would not have been an issue.  The solution is in post #3
