So the answer to my question (#16) was that the resolvconf Upstart job was failing to start at boot time because of #927803.
The misbehavior reported here (#929552) occurs post-boot so I am doubtful that it has the same cause. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/929552 Title: Upgrade of resolvconf from 1.63ubuntu* to 1.63ubuntu7 fails: start: Job failed to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/929552/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
