[Bug 1017001] Re: package resolvconf 1.63ubuntu14 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: pre-dependency problem - not installing resolvconf

[Steve Langasek]

There are now two reports of this issue within 24 hours of each other.
It's possible that there's been a regression of some kind in precise-
updates which is triggering wrong upgrade behavior.  Marking as
critical.

The first error from the duplicate bug is:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ifupdown:
 ifupdown depends on initscripts (>= 2.88dsf-13.3); however:
  Package initscripts is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing ifupdown (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
                          dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of upstart:
 upstart depends on initscripts; however:
  Package initscripts is not configured yet.
 upstart depends on mountall; however:
  Package mountall is not configured yet.
 upstart depends on ifupdown (>= 0.6.10ubuntu5); however:
  Package ifupdown is not configured yet.
