[Bug 1782274] [NEW] resolvconf package needs dependency on ifupdown

[Daniel Richard G.]

Public bug reported:

When I install resolvconf on a minimal install of Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic),
I see this:

# apt-get install resolvconf

The "ifquery" program is provided by the ifupdown package. Therefore, resolvconf needs to include ifupdown in its Depends: clause. (Currently, ifupdown is mentioned in Enhances:)
