it seems you haven't installed the 'resolvconf'. you need to install
it first by using root privileges or using 'sudo' .

# apt-get install resolvconf

Greetings,

The resolvconf package is very useful when you have several programs
changing resolv.conf, but not really necessary in a simple setup with
static DNS configuration.

Kind regards,
