We appear to have another case of this, reported in #922677. For convenience I copy the contributor's posts here.
--------------------- Louis Li in #922677 #14 -------------------------- I'm seeing this issue from a clean Ubuntu precise amd64 AMI (http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ami/). With nothing but vpnc installed, I did some of the following: ubuntu@ip-10-116-125-233:~$ sudo vpnc myvpnc.conf sudo vpnc myvpn.conf resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf isn't a symlink, not doing anything. VPNC started in background (pid: 12101)... (but it's not actually connected) Upgrading resolvconf package: Unpacking replacement resolvconf ... Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
