> I should be able to uninstall dnsmasq without forcing or otherwise
breaking things when I have bind9.
You can force NM not to use dnsmasq by editing out "dns=dnsmasq" in
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.
What remains of this report is, I think, a wish that NM's dependency on
dnsmasq-base be weakend from a "Depends".
** Summary changed:
- dnsmasq required by network-manager when bind9 and dhcp3server installed
+ network-manager: Please don't Depend on dnsmasq-base
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
