Bug Description
The error message "dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 0.0.0.0: Address already in use" doesn't explain which port number it refers to. In case it's an OS message it needs to be catched and enhanced with necessary information (in order to get any use of the message).

mtime.conffile.
What configuration was in use to get that exact error message. If
dnsmasq is binding the wildcard address (0.0.0.0), I'd expect to see a
message like
dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53
Whilst if dnsmasq is configured to bind the hosts addresses, I'd expect
to see something like
dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.151.1
So I'm confused how you're getting the message with an IP address, but
for the 0.0.0.0 wildcard address.
Cheers,
Simon
