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

[Emmet Hikory]

@Thomas,
    959037 means that this issue potentially exists for everyone, rather than just those few folk with specialised needs (mine having been running both a virtualisation host and a tftp server on the same machine).

    The main issue being the racy nature of running multiple greedy
dnsmasq configurations.  There's likely a right way to do it, but it's
tricky, especially as most of the potential solutions significantly
complicate many of the current user-oriented use cases for dnsmasq.

    That said, I'm probably not the best person to own this bug any
longer, having gotten stalled with the project that required tftp a
couple years ago, and so not really trying to solve this.  I have
another project with TFTP coming up soon, and an running libvirt on the
laptop I'd like to use as a server: if I happen to find a generic config
that works, I'll post a patch (probably based on the plan outlined
above, unless the changes to the code in the meantime are sufficiently
large to make that no longer workable).
