Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.76-5 Followup-For: Bug #863896 This issue seems to be caused by the recent upgrade of the dns-root-data package. The root.ds file in this new package contains two records where the previous version (2015052300+h+1) only had one record.
The old version was also formatted with spaces, where the new one uses tabs. Downgrading dns-root-data to the previous version lets dnsmasq start again. This should be fixed in the dnsmasq init script where it parses /usr/share/dns/root.ds Regards, Rik -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dnsmasq depends on: ii dnsmasq-base 2.76-5+b1 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii netbase 5.4 dnsmasq recommends no packages.
