Check whether along those updates it was also installed the "resolvconf"
package and if yes, remove it.

If you aren't using N-M neither DHCP, there's only one package I can
think of which can overwrite the "/etc/resolv.con file", and that's
resolvconf.

I would ensure that:
1/ N-M service is not started ("ps aux | grep -i networkmanager").
2/ "Resolvconf" package was not installed inadvertently (it usually comes
unnoticed as a "recommended" package).
