Description Mészáros Csaba 2021-03-24 18:09:46 CET 
Description of problem:
There is an error somewhere in the system.
Whichever legacy sysvinit daemon started, this error messages:

example
# systemctl status resolvconf.service 
● resolvconf.service - LSB: Nameserver information manager
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/resolvconf; generated)
     Active: active (exited) since Wed 2021-03-24 16:15:58 CET; 1h 36min ago

Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2021-03-24 21:40:02 CET 
Thank you for the report. I suspect this is quite harmless, since I see the same thing in the journal:

Maw 24 20:45:28 resolvconf[708]: Starting resolvconf:/etc/init.d/functions: line 157: shift: shift count out of range
Maw 24 20:45:28 resolvconf[708]: [ OK ]

Assigning this to Olav for 'initscripts'. If you want more information (like more journal), please ask.
