[Bug 992605] [NEW] package resolvconf 1.63ubuntu11 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[soulrebel360]

Public bug reported:

I locked resolv.conf to prevent my DNS from changing by using the
command:

sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

When I recieved the error initially i unlocked the file and tried
running an update ... this did not resolve the problem.  Since this file
is only a config file, should I have locked it in the first place to
prevent further edits?
