[Bug 933566] Re: Stopping resolvconf doesn't disable updates

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package resolvconf - 1.63ubuntu8

---------------
resolvconf (1.63ubuntu8) precise; urgency=low

  * Use a post-stop script for disabling resolvconf, not a pre-stop script,
    since upstart seems to be silently ignoring pre-stop when there's no
    main process.  LP: #933566.
  * debian/postinst: mkdir -p /run/resolvconf/interface again, just in case
    there's been a reboot between the preinst and postinst which would wipe
    out /run.  May or may not address LP 933035.
  * debian/config, debian/templates, debian/postinst: if we don't know that
    /etc/resolv.conf was being dynamically managed before install (in at
    least some cases), link the original contents of /etc/resolv.conf to
    /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail so that any statically configured
    nameservers aren't lost.  LP: #923685.
  * when called with --enable-updates, ignore failures from the hooks.
    LP: #933723.
