dnscache resolvconf update script still accesses /etc/resolvconf/run/

[MarianoAbsatz]

At some point what used to be /etc/resolvconf/run moved to /run/resolvconf.

I don't know if this is because of some LSB requirement or what. The point is that there seems to be parts of ubuntu that long for the old location:

 $ sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart
 * Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
 * Reconfiguring network interfaces... /etc/resolvconf/update.d/dnscache: 94: /etc/resolvconf/update.d/dnscache: cannot create /etc/resolvconf/run/dnscache_new.19373: Directory nonexistent
run-parts: /etc/resolvconf/update.d/dnscache exited with return code 2
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 19462

I think that either the /etc/resolvconf/update.d/dnscache script should be patched taking this into account or we could create a symlink to the new location:

sudo ln -s ../../run/resolvconf /etc/resolvconf/run

Either the symlink in my previous comment or this tiny patch to /etc/resolvconf/update.d/dnscache solve the issue.

Thanks for the report. That is indeed a bug in the Ubuntu resolvconf package and your patch is the correct fix for it.
