Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.55-2 Severity: important Hi,
The default location for lease files (/var/lib/misc), which is also the home folder of the user dnsmasq, is not writeable for the user itself which is why the daemon won't function without specially setting everything in the config file. I'd suggest introducing /var/lib/dnsmasq which should be owned by dnsmasq and adding that folder as default location for leases and such. The current setting is just not sane at all...
