Comment 8 for bug 923685

I'm not sure whether this is related to this or not. I was about to raise a bug for it, but thought I'd comment here in case it is related to something someone did recently in regards to this bug. Here's my scenario:

I'm using oneiric-mini.iso to install from a local ubuntu mirror (more like a cache) that is constructed using reprepro. In essence it's a mirror of only the important bits of oneiric to set up an ubuntu-standard server + resolvconf from precise since the one in oneiric is totally broken.

Until very recently (1.63ubuntu3) this installed just fine (using DHCP for the single interface and getting the DNS info from that). Now I've just updated my "mirror" to the latest packages which pulled in resolvconf 1.63ubuntu6 from precise and now this no longer installs properly. In particular /etc/resolv.conf is still a file and not a sym-link after a clean expert install.

If I subsequently try to fix thinks by running dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf, it goes through a couple questions (Yes, I want to prepare /etc/resolv.conf and no I don't want to append the original contents) it fails saying (in effect) that /run/resolvconf does not exist. If I create /run/resolvconf and /run/resolvconf/interface manually and then run through dpkg-reconfigure it appears to start coming right.

I don't have the means to try this on a plain precise install at the moment.

Anybody any comments?
