Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

The logs show that /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link, and that is why the package upgrade refused to complete the configuration step. You might try moving it out of the way

 mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.custom
 ln -s /etc/resolv.conf.custom /etc/resolv.conf

then re-trying the install. Please let us know if that succeeded.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!
