Title:
  package resolvconf 1.63ubuntu11 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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?
