[Bug 1286638] [NEW] LTS upgrade removes needed dnscache-run package

[Michael Lueck]

Public bug reported:

I was running through the LTS upgrade of our last production 10.04
server, upgrading finally to 12.04. I have run into a repeat issue with
the do-release-upgrade LTS upgrade process.

Our configuration calls for the use of DJBDNS rather than Bind or some
other DNS implementation. Going through the LTS do-release-upgrade
upgrade removes those DJBDNS related packages and substitutes resolvconf
and also seems to be related to package ubuntu-minimal.

Attached is the term.log of me correcting the misconfiguration of
DJBDNS.

The result is that DNS is no longer working after the LTS upgrade, until
manual correction of the needed dnscache-run package.
