[Bug 1029977] Re: dnsmasq-base should ship the dnsmasq dbus configuration file

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

** Also affects: dnsmasq (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

+ [Test case]
+ Requirements: the 'dnsmasq-base' package must be installed; the 'dnsmasq' package must *NOT* be installed.
+ 1) Start a terminal
+ 2) sudo stop network-manager  # network-manager interferes with the test, since it starts dnsmasq.
+ 2) Attempt to start dnsmasq with the following command:
+ 'sudo dnsmasq --enable-dbus'
+ 
+ Without the file shipped with dnsmasq-base:
+ dnsmasq: Erreur DBus : Connection ":1.64" is not allowed to own the service "uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq" due to security policies in the configuration file
+ 
+ With the file; dnsmasq should start successfully.
+ 
+ Other instances may interfere with the test case; if you get an error
+ such as "address already in use"; first kill off other running instances
+ of dnsmasq.
+ 
+ ---
+ 
  /etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf is currently being shipped by
  'dnsmasq'. However, other users of the dnsmasq binary as a standalone
  binary (e.g. those packages that depend on 'dnsmasq-base' and not
  'dnsmasq') may want to use dnsmasq with --enable-dbus. This requires the
  above config file; otherwise the name can't be owned by dnsmasq and DBus
  messages will fail.
  
  dnsmasq-base should ship the file along with the dnsmasq binary; all
  other arch-indep files from dnsmasq can stay where they are.
