[Bug 420098] [NEW] [karmic] resolvconf not started at system boot

[Wesley]

Public bug reported:

resolvconf is not started at boot, the init.d script is only run when
booting to single user mode. This becomes a problem when /var/run is a
tmpfs filesystem, since /var/run/resolvconf is created by the init.d
start script. If this dir is missing then my network doesn't come up
properly. See this interfaces file config:

/home/wesleys/resolvconf-1.44ubuntu1$ ls -altr /etc/rc?.d/* | grep resolv
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  20 2009-08-27 20:33 /etc/rcS.d/S07resolvconf -> ../init.d/resolvconf

The issue can be fixed by running:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/resolvconf /etc/rc2.d/S07resolvconf
