Your output included “which” not “where” (whereis?).

I assume the error message would have changed and the mv command would have been in the latest command list. I still find using the git compiled version of dnsmasq and the package version concurrently installed into system locations as dirty and believe you have a package installed dnsmasq binary on the system.</font></div><div class=""><font color="#000000" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font color="#000000" class="">For the compiled dnsmasq running in your PATH, its complaining about line 12 which you have as “<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">dnssec-check-unsigned=no</span></font><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">”. Referring to </span><font color="#000000" class="">dnsmasq.conf.example from the source repository, the option is just set not “=no” or yes.
