I am unable to install Dnsmasq via command line, this error is shown : Package dnsmasq is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from a nother source. However the following packages replace it : dnsmasq-base. E: Package 'dnsmasq' has no installation candidate.
Searching in the Ubuntu store, I can find and install It, but I don't find the dnsmasq.conf file in /etc/... Besides, typing apt list dns does not show dnsmasq at all, only dnsmasq-base.
Moreover, if I type : sudo dnsmasq Then, I got an other error message : dnsmasq : failed to create listening socket for port 53: address already in use
I am on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 and only want to set up a DHCP and DNS server to bypass the loopback restriction of my actual internet provider... I have already tried many things such as disabling dnsmasq-base but did not work...
systemd-resolvedinstalled as a replacement fordnsmasq. See here about how to avoid conflicts. – Jos Feb 28 '19 at 09:55
