I am also getting this on Xenial I found a bug report on Debian that discusses this issue and the causes. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718232 The last post on Debian claims that this was fixed with resolvconf (1.75). I have resolvconf (1.781.78ubuntu2) on my system and the bug is still there, don't know if there is a difference between the resolvconf on Debian and Ubuntu. Mantainer might want to take a look at what the did with the Debian package.
Hope this helps. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #718232 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718232 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369493 Title: update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/1369493/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
