Hi hal, I vaguely recall having had a similar issue on some Debian system some time in the past. A quick web search dug up this link containing a solution that looks familiar to me: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/332168/how-to-get-dnsmasq-to-work TL,DR: To solve the issue, purge and then reinstall dnsmasq, or, should that fail, in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq change the line setting the dnsmasq options to: DNSMASQ_OPTS="$DNSMASQ_OPTS `mawk -- '{ printf " --trust-anchor=.,%d,%d,%d,%s", $5, $6, $7, $8 }' $ROOT_DS`" Root cause presumably is the field delimiters in /usr/share/dns/root.ds having changed from spaces to TABs, tripping up the old parser. HTH, regards Urban -- Sapere aude!
