Question
Why is the DNS in the Debian 10 image broken after a brand new rebuild?
Who should I be nagging to get this fixed?
I rebuilt my droplet with the ‘Debian 10.0 x64 Base Image’.
I logged in, and ran 'apt-get update’.
root@droplet:~# apt-get update
Err:1 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian buster InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'mirrors.digitalocean.com'
Err:2 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian buster/updates InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'mirrors.digitalocean.com'
Err:3 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian buster-updates InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'mirrors.digitalocean.com'
Err:4 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian buster-backports InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'mirrors.digitalocean.com'
After searching around I found a few dozen hits about the DNS on the Debian image being broken out of the box on digitalocean because the 'resolv.conf’ has screwed up permissions A completely new rebuild based on the provided based image has 0660 instead of the correct '0644’
# stat /etc/resolv.conf

Who do we get to actually fix this, so people using Debian don’t have a broken system out of the box?
