Public bug reported:
When upgrading my machine to 12.04LTS resolvconf failed to install with
an error
lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf
I tracked this down to my / filesystem being on reiserfs which doesn't
support lsattr. I managed to get resolvconf to install by commenting out
the call to is_immutable_file in the postinst file. The
is_immutable_file needs to be guarded so that if the lsattr operation
isn't available it returns false (as the file can't be marked immutable
if the filesystem doesn't support extended attributes)
