Ubuntu – Removed resolvconf can’t install anymore

14.04resolvconfserver

As stated in the title, I removed resolvconf (with reinstalling in mind because name resolution was acting up) but now I'm unable to install this package.
I tried two things:
apt-get install –reinstall resolvconf
resulting in the following error:

Package resolvconf is not available, but is referred to by another
package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been
obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'resolvconf' has no installation candidate

Using apt-get install resolvconf I get the same error.
