[Bug 231060] Re: packages dnsmasq and libvirt-bin conflict with each other

[Thierry Carrez]

The problem is not really in libvirt, which calls dnsmasq with the
appropriate settings to limit itself to the right interface. It's in
dnsmasq, which by default binds to all interfaces, thus preventing the
dnsmasq-from-libvirt from serving its addresses.

I tend to agree with Soren and Neal : yes, that's a conflict
configuration case (like if you install two web servers that try to run
on the same port), and yes, since it's not that obvious that libvirt
runs a DHCP server, we should try to make the potential problem (and
solution) more discoverable by documentation.
