Hi all,

I've updated my linux machine (debian jessie) yesterday and dnsmasq cannot
start - no change made in config file, here the log :

Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal systemd[1]: Starting dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP
and caching DNS server...
Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal dnsmasq[29555]: dnsmasq: vérification de syntaxe
OK.
Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal dnsmasq[29557]: la ligne de commande contient des
éléments indésirables ou incompréhensibles
Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal dnsmasq[29557]: IMPOSSIBLE de démarrer
Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal systemd[1]: dnsmasq.service: control process

Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal systemd[1]: Failed to start dnsmasq - A
lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server.
Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Host and
Network Name Lookups.
Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal systemd[1]: Unit dnsmasq.service entered failed
state.
Jun 29 15:29:00 vterminal dnsmasq[29557]: dnsmasq: la ligne de commande
contient des éléments indésirables ou incompréhensibles

I also try on a fresh install (still debian jessie), and I've the same
problem.

In both cases :
root at vterminal:~# dnsmasq --test
dnsmasq: vérification de syntaxe OK.


Any clue about this error ?  Any help will be very welcome.
Christophe
