[Bug 947821] Re: dist-upgrade: resolvconf 1.63ubuntu9 postinst fails with "start: Unknown job: resolvconf"

The unknown job message in this case is most likely because upstart
didn't see the job appearing because of the use of overlayfs.

Marking this as a duplicate of the overlayfs bug.

Running "initctl reload-configuration" then running apt-get should fix
your system in the mean time.

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