Since Sergio mentioned groovy, this really only is a xenial issue: Test: 1. install dnsqmasq+squid 2. ensure dnsmasq is able to run (port collision >=Focal) 3. stop/start dnsmasq in a loop
for i in $(seq 1 4); do date; echo "-"; systemctl stop dnsmasq; date; echo "+"; systemctl start dnsmasq; date; done Xenial: slow Bionic: fast Focal: fast Groovy: fast Xenial: Wed Sep 2 06:24:15 UTC 2020 - Wed Sep 2 06:24:15 UTC 2020 + Job for dnsmasq.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status dnsmasq.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

And the fact that it is "ok" for squid to take 30 second for a restart is intentional as outlined above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761096 Title: dnsmasq starts with error on Ubuntu Xenial amd64 when squid installed Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in squid package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in dnsmasq source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in squid source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: Setup to reproduce: Ubuntu Xenial amd64 net install iso from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer- amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso Install system with mostly defaults + LVM + OpenSSH server Note that this bug applies to both DHCP and static IP+DNS network configurations Once server rebooted and is available, log in and install dnsmasq + squid: apt-get update && apt-get install squid dnsmasq output of this can be found at https://pastebin.com/9Atuipju journalctl -xe output at https://pastebin.com/uLhfM4jN Furthermore at this point I can run alternating errors root@ubuntu-min:~# date ; service dnsmasq start ; date Wed Apr 4 09:18:07 CEST 2018 Wed Apr 4 09:18:07 CEST 2018 root@ubuntu-min:~# date ; service dnsmasq stop ; date Wed Apr 4 09:18:39 CEST 2018 Wed Apr 4 09:18:39 CEST 2018 root@ubuntu-min:~# date ; service dnsmasq start ; date Wed Apr 4 09:19:10 CEST 2018 Job for dnsmasq.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
