I also see this issue after installing pihole which uses dnsmasq.

As a solution until we have a fix available, would it not be better to run `sudo systemctl edit dnsmasq` and add the three lines:
[Unit]
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

rather than edit /lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service directly?
