I think I may be seeing this on an attempt to upgrade linux mint from 12 to 13. This may not be a definitive case as I ran into some (I think unrelated) problems before I came to this one but maybe this can help. This is a 5ish month old install. Possible complication: It has the Cisco AnyConnect client installed to access our VPN.
Originally I had a problem during the dist-upgrade because of some mint specific package. I removed this package and tried to run dist-upgrade again and this is when I got the resolvconf error message: Processing triggers for resolvconf ... resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf isn't a symlink, not doing anything.
