Updated dnsmasq packages are available for Debian 8 to address an issue with the init script
Package : dnsmasqDnsmasq Regression Update for Debian 8
Version : 2.72-3+deb8u3
Debian Bug : 860064
The dns-root-data update to 2017072601~deb8u2 broke dnsmasq's
init script, making dnsmasq no longer start when dns-root-data
was installed.
This update fixes dnsmasq's parsing of dns-root-data.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
2.72-3+deb8u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your dnsmasq packages.
