[Bug 928524] Re: lxcbr0 fails to come up when dnsmasq is installed

[Serge Hallyn]

** Description changed:

+ ============ SRU justification ===========
+ Impact: lxc (by way of lxc-net) fails to start when dnsmasq is installed
+ Development fix: install a dnsmasq.d file to prevent the system-wide dnsmasq
+ from binding to lxcbr0
+ Stable fix: same as Development fix
+ Test case:
+ 	sudo apt-get purge lxc
+ 	sudo apt-get -y install dnsmasq
+ 	sudo apt-get -y install lxc
+ Regression potential: There should be none, since we are simply telling the
+ system-wide dnsmasq (if any) not to bind to the lxcbr0 which our own dnsmasq
+ instance will bind to.
+ ==========================================
+ 
  If dnsmasq is installed and running as default, it will bind all
  interfaces.  As a result lxc can't run dnsmasq against lxcbr0 (and same
  with libvirt and virbr0).
  
  At the least this should be documented in lxc.  Preferably we'd find a
  way to have dnsmasq be less of a bully.
