[Bug 1070151] [NEW] resolvconf cannot recover from dnscache-run installation

[Ken Sharp]

Public bug reported:

resolvconf complains, and gives up when trying to reinstall following a
dnscache-run installation.

To recreate on Ubuntu Precise server:

#apt-get install dnscache-run

This removes resolvconf.

#apt-get install resolvconf

This removes dnscache-run but:

Setting up resolvconf (1.63ubuntu16) ...
resolvconf start/running
Processing triggers for resolvconf ...
resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf isn't a symlink, not doing anything.
