The history.log shows that this is an initial installation of the resolvconf package; apparently you're upgrading a live image that was created before resolvconf was installed by default in precise. As a result, you're being affected by the kernel's lack of inotify support on overlayfs (bug #882147). To work around this, you can manually run 'sudo initctl reload-configuration' from the commandline to tell upstart about the new package, then run 'dpkg --configure -a' to let resolvconf be started correctly.
Hi Mike,
