Yes, many other packages have been upgraded. If I grep the dpkg.log 
correctly it were 544 packages, as the new KDE4.4.4 came in. But no 
openvpn packages. The kernel has been upgraded only to another 
sidux-subversion (2.6.34-0.slh.5-sidux-686 to 2.6.34-0.slh.7-sidux-686). 
dnsmasq was upgraded from 2.52-1 to 2.53-1.

As I do not know which things I might check, I do not know which of the 
packages might be interesting to report here.

Also I do not see any differences of "ifconfig" or "route" output after 
the restart of dnsmasq. Also I do not think that dnsmasq modifies 
something in the net or firewall settings on restart, does it? So maybe 
dnsmasq timeouts internally somehow without even reporting something to 
the logs? I already have activated "log-queries", so that normally all 
incoming queries are logged. But in case of the timeout there is no 
output at all.

Because I am confused by the resolvconf package I think about removing 
this to test with less side effects. Does anybody know if this is 
usually required?
