Error installing dnsmasq on ubuntu server 14.04


When I try to install dnsmasq on ubuntu server 14.04.2 it fails, but on ubuntu desktop it works fine.

I'm trying to install it using apt-get install dnsmasq I have update and upgrade the system.

The error it throws is the next:

Ikerlan @ server1: ~ $ sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
