[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#776776: dnssec-trigger: dnssec-triggerd running causes resolvconf installation to fail

[Axel Beckert]

Package: dnssec-trigger
Version: 0.13~svn685-3
Severity: important
Control: affects -1 resolvconf

Dear Maintainer,

installing resolvconf while dnssec-triggerd is running causes the
installation of resolvconf to fail as follows:

Setting up resolvconf (1.76.1) ...
resolvconf.postinst: Error: Cannot replace the current /etc/resolv.conf with a symbolic link because it is immutable; to correct this problem, gain root privileges in a terminal and run 'chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf' and then 'dpkg --configure resolvconf'; aborting
dpkg: error processing package resolvconf (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 resolvconf

As far as I know, it's dnssec-triggerd which makes /etc/resolv.conf
immutable and I can understand that measure.

The workaround is to stop dnssec-triggerd (e.g. with "service
dnssec-triggerd stop"), then install resolvconf (or run "dpkg
--configure resolvconf" as suggested if it already failed), and then
start dnssec-triggerd again (e.g. with "service dnssec-triggerd start").
