Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.57-1 Severity: important
Lines like the following in /etc/dnsmasq.conf cause dnsmasq 2.57 to fail to restart: dhcp-host=00:11:d8:a8:58:21,10.32.1.3,tag:lan,tijger /var/log/daemon.log reports: May 26 10:28:14 ur-quan dnsmasq[30846]: bad hex constant at line 228 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf May 26 10:28:14 ur-quan dnsmasq[30846]: FAILED to start up Downgrading to 2.55 (from squeeze) resolves the issue. Commenting the line above causes dnsmasq 2.57 to fail on other similar lines.
