Sorry, the last one was: /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf yes yes So the difference is a left over /etc/default/dnsmasq. When I removed it manually, everything started to work alright. I'll report again if I experience something strange. Paul, can you revisit the logic of the file checking before we close this bug? Remember that it affects only Ubuntu Precise on onwards and not e.g. Debian.
