Yes. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:509]$ sudo aptitude remove resolvconf ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:512]$ sudo /etc/init.d/resolvconf start Setting up resolvconf...run-parts: /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc exited with return code 1 failed. No other package is holding /etc/init.d/resolvconf: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:513]$ dpkg --search /etc/init.d/resolvconf resolvconf: /etc/init.d/resolvconf It appears the problem is that removing resolvconf doesn't remove /etc/init.d/resolvconf.
