The discussion above about the sequencing of initscripts.postinst and resolvconf.preinst now seems to me to be irrelevant because the submitter upgraded from Oneiric which already has /run/. (The version of initscripts in Oneiric is 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu4 which already satisfies resolvconf 1.63ubuntu7's predependency on 2.88dsf-13.10.)

I have just attempted to reproduce the failure. I installed 11.10 on a clean virtual machine, rebooted when told to do so, then upgraded to Precise using "update-manager -d". /run/ was already there, of course; resolvconf.preinst created /run/resolvconf/interface as expected; resolvconf.postinst then created /run/resolvconf/enable-updates, /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf and /run/resolvconf/interface/original.resolvconf as expected. No problem at all.

Dd you install network-manager before upgrading or something like that?
