quantum-dhcp-agent fails to start due to dnsmasq --version
Hello,
I'm using quantum-dhcp-agent 1:2013.1.3-0ubuntu1~cloud0 and its unable to start due to bad stdout when running dnsmasq --version. Which version of dnsmasq should I install that is compatible with quantum/neutron?

to add: using ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS; 3.2.0-55-generic kernel Thanks
The code checks that the dnsmasq version is >=2.59. But you are getting "UNKNOWN" for the version instead of a number. How did you install dnsmasq? What does 'dpkg -l dnsmasq\*' show?
I use chef to automate + using stackforge's cookbook. They compile dnsmasq from source and its unable to put an actual version during compile (see answer below)
