Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.28-1 Severity: important I noticed that the postinst failed to start dnsmasq after the upgrade. It complains about missing a loopback interface, which I have:
chianamo:~# /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start
Starting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: dnsmasqdnsmasq: no interface with
address 127.0.0.1
(failed).
