Sorry for the late reply. I tested upgrading some other servers we use and the process went well. The servers failing are our oldest in production. Meaning we have updated them since version 9 (or perhaps even 8) to long term releases of Ubuntu. I.e., gradually with apt-get (without problems to speak of). I will probably not be able to retrieve the exact image we used.
I will see if others types of servers upgrades fail in the coming days. On the failing machines I would like to keep the resolvconf package as you suggest Thomas. Is there any way I can force apt or dpkg to install it, or get more verbose outpout reg. why it fails to install? As long as the install goes through and I keep a static /etc/resolv.conf file everything works fine. I've tested the build and nothing has broken for us besides that apt-get dist-upgrade fails on resolvconf (and perhaps future dist-upgrades are blocked).
