(I have a similar issue with Xerox automatic meter reporting on copiers. DNS can be tricky !)
A complete uninstall of software can lead to issues i have found. Some not so obvious.
If you used synaptic package manager it may have taken out a DNS related component as you suspect.
Selecting complete removal sometimes does not differentiate between critical packages.
However if you used the LinuxLite SW tool, I am sure Jerry would like to know so the issue can be addressed.
