[Bug 1027808] Re: dnsmasq doesn't start at system startup

[Thomas Hood]

Please reboot, reproducing the dnsmasq failure, and then run "apport-
collect 1027808" to provide more information about the affected system,
including the syslog.

Your dnsmasq.conf includes

    listen-address=127.0.0.1

and no "interface" option.  dnsmasq(8) says:

       -a, --listen-address=<ipaddr>
              Listen on the given IP address(es). Both --interface and  --lis‐
              ten-address  options may be given, in which case the set of both
              interfaces and addresses is used. Note that  if  no  --interface
              option is given, but --listen-address is, dnsmasq will not auto‐
              matically listen on the loopback interface. To achieve this, its
              IP  address,  127.0.0.1, must be explicitly given as a --listen-
              address option.

It seems then that your dnsmasq is only listening on 127.0.0.1.  Is
dnsmasq starting before lo is configured?
