Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.75-1 Severity: normal Hello Simon,
by mistake i found that removing the file /etc/dnsmasq.d/README prevents dnsmasq from starting. systemd says rough vaguely: -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< Job for dnsmasq.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See "systemctl status dnsmasq.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< -----< touching /etc/dnsmasq.d/README then and all is fine again. kind regards, Thilo -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dnsmasq depends on: ii dnsmasq-base 2.75-1 ii init-system-helpers 1.29 ii netbase 5.3 dnsmasq recommends no packages.
