I'm currently scanning through bugs that were dormant for too long. I must beg your pardon - in particular because I was the (less experienced me back then) one who triaged it initially.
Looking back the right decision would have been to ask you to report this to Debian. This bug is present in Debian too, and Ubuntu currently doesn't make any changes over the Debian package. So this bug would be best fixed directly in Debian, and then Ubuntu will pick up the fix automatically. OTOH I think your request is perfectly valid - the dependency on systemd-resolvd as well as the check of the right config. Therefore it would be great if you could report that to Debian and link the bug here. Once fixed there Ubuntu will automatically pick that up for the next release and from there we can consider SRU's. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639452 Title: systemd ExecStartPre test config Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The standard configuration file of dnsmasq is complete commented out. The real configuration is saved in /etc/dnsmasq.d, so the test of systemd is a fake. In the Service Section of /lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service the ExecStartPre directive should be set to "/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf- dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d --test" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1639452/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
