Resolvconf.postinst runs
invoke-rc.d resolvconf start
which does
/etc/init.d/resolvconf start
which, because /etc/init.d/resolvconf is a symlink to /lib/init/upstart-
job, does
start resolvconf
Now, at the time of an upgrade to the resolvconf package from any
earlier version of the package that started an Upstart job, the
resolvconf Upstart job will be considered by Upstart already to be
running.
But since 1.63ubuntu5 the job is not stopped on upgrade.
resolvconf (1.63ubuntu5) precise; urgency=low
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Call dh_installinit with -r, to not stop/start resolvconf on upgrade;
that just leaves a window when updates aren't happening, which
doesn't benefit us.
Hence the failure.
One solution would be to go back to dh_installinit without the "-r"
option.
Suspending updates between resolvconf.old-prerm and resolvconf.new-
postinst does offer the benefit that if multiple packages induce
resolvconf updates during the dpkg run then these will all be processed
in one go. That's nice.
I don't immediately see any problem with delaying updates until
resolvconf.postinst runs, but perhaps someone else can. Steve Langasek: Did
you add "-r" to "dh_installinit" in order to solve some problem?
