The problem in the installation phase of the package is caused by the
following part of the dnsproxy.postinst script

if [ -x "/etc/init.d/dnsproxy" ]; then
        update-rc.d dnsproxy defaults >/dev/null
        if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
                invoke-rc.d dnsproxy start || exit $?
        else
                /etc/init.d/dnsproxy start || exit $?
        fi
fi

which try to start the dnsproxy deamon. Unfortunatly the default configuration 
that comes with the dnsproxy is not generic. In fact, the package file 
/etc/dnsproxy.conf
contains the following line
listen 192.168.168.1
which avoid the starting of the deamon if the host has different IP address.

I believe that the dnsproxy.postinst script should not start the deamon
but it should provide a message such as "Please configure the dnsproxy
to tailor your need and then start it with the sudo /etc/init.d/dnsproxy
start"
