I have a virtual network controlled with Virtual Machine Manager. I just gracefully rebooted the host machine. Bringing up the virtual network produces the following:
Error starting network 'default': internal error: Child process (VIR_BRIDGE_NAME=virbr0 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper) unexpected exit status 2: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.122.1: Address already in use Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 72, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 108, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/libvirtobject.py", line 57, in newfn ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/network.py", line 69, in start self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 3547, in create raise libvirtError('virNetworkCreate() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: Child process (VIR_BRIDGE_NAME=virbr0 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper) unexpected exit status 2: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.122.1: Address already in use Near as I can tell, that address is not already in use.

Might this be related to the upgrade of dnsmasq-base on January 12 (2.89-1, 2.90-4~deb12u1)? -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
