Hi Mike,

The error in the log is:

Setting up resolvconf (1.63ubuntu8) ...
start: Unknown job: resolvconf
invoke-rc.d: initscript resolvconf, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing resolvconf (--configure):

The history.log shows that this is an initial installation of the
resolvconf package; apparently you're upgrading a live image that was
created before resolvconf was installed by default in precise.  As a
result, you're being affected by the kernel's lack of inotify support on
overlayfs (bug #882147).  To work around this, you can manually run
'sudo initctl reload-configuration' from the commandline to tell upstart
about the new package, then run 'dpkg --configure -a' to let resolvconf
be started correctly.

** Package changed: resolvconf (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 882147
   overlayfs does not implement inotify interfaces correctly
