Package: dnsmasq
Followup-For: Bug #783459

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to 2.62-3+deb7u2 on Wheezy/armel dnsmasq now fails to start 
with:

    root@yog-sothoth:~# dpkg -i dnsmasq*2.62-3+deb7u2*.deb
    (Reading database ... 25941 files and directories currently installed.)

    root@yog-sothoth:~# 

Downgrading back to 2.62-3+deb7u1 makes things work again.

Searching around there are various (mostly a few year old) reports of this
which are related to the use of the bind-interfaces option which I had enabled
in /etc/dnsmasq.conf since dnsmasq runs on a router with multiple interfaces.

For now I've disabled bind-interfaces, although I'm not entirely happy with
that since it exposes dnsmasq to traffic from the outside Internet, even if it
is to be discarded.

Ian.
