I have no idea.

Because thousands upon thousands of people are using the EC2 images and
there's only one report of this problem.

Title:
  Upgrade of resolvconf from 1.63ubuntu* to 1.63ubuntu15 fails: start:
  Job failed to start

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I can see that the other bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/929552) has expired, and it was actually addressing a different version.
  Today I tried applying the pending upgrades on my amazon ec2 based ubuntu 12.04 64-bit server, and got the following error:

  Setting up resolvconf (1.63ubuntu15) ...
  resolvconf start/running
  Processing triggers for resolvconf ...
  start: Job is already running: resolvconf
  invoke-rc.d: initscript resolvconf, action "start" failed.
  dpkg: error processing resolvconf (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   resolvconf
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  Please tell me what more information I could provide.
