Failed to intall ubuntu-minimal for unconfigured resolvconf

Asked by Lei Zhang

I am trying to install ubuntu-minimal on ubuntu 16.04 on s390x. However I wasn't able to install because "ubuntu-minimal depends on resolvconf; however: Package resolvconf is not configured yet."

Maybe you have tried installing resolvconf under Docker?, see https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/1297

Possible workarounds before installing resolvconf:
RUN :> /var/lib/resolvconf/linkified
RUN echo "resolvconf resolvconf/linkify-resolvconf boolean false" | debconf-set-selections

Can you help with this problem?
