Error is:

Setting up squid (2.7.STABLE9-2ubuntu5) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/squid ...

dpkg: error processing squid (--configure):

Can't reproduce on a lucid -> maverick upgrade...

Anything in the system logs showing why squid fails to restart ?

[Alan Hartless (harty83)]

I had same problem. Here is all that was in my syslog for squid after the failed attempt to upgrade:

Oct 15 16:08:38 desktop squid[30985]: Squid Parent: child process 30989 started
Oct 15 16:08:38 desktop init: squid main process (30985) killed by TERM signal
Oct 15 16:08:38 desktop squid[30999]: Squid Parent: child process 31001 started

Can't find anything else in the logs. Can't find a squid error log period.

Thanks,
Alan

Does the error only appear during the upgrade ? Does squid fail to start afterwards ? Are you still blocked ?
