Title:
  resolvconf postinst: reinstallation after removal does not recreate
  symlink

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  resolvconf complains, and gives up when trying to reinstall following
  a dnscache-run installation.

  To recreate on Ubuntu Precise server:

  #apt-get install dnscache-run

  This removes resolvconf.
