Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.42
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

the /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc script contains "set -e", which
means the shell aborts execution if one of the commands returns
a non-zero exit status.

The aforementioned script contains instructions ("[ ... ]") that
do so and thusly fails to work. These familiar with Makefiles,
which exhibit similar behaviour, know to use negative logic, i.e.
[ x != y ] || foo instead of [ x = y ] && foo, instead.

The patch below fixes this problem:
