Description:
When I start vpnc from terminal, it prints this:
# vpnc
cat: /var/run/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.pid: No such file or directory
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
VPNC started in background (pid: 522)...

I didn't change anything related to dnsmasq.pid in the scripts or config files.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
vpnc 0.5.3.svn516-3
dnsmasq 2.65-1
openresolv 3.5.4-1
This task depends upon

/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dnsmasq -k --enable-dbus --user=dnsmasq --pid-file

There's no pid filename. Is it intentional?

Then either add the pidfile or change /usr/lib/resolvconf/dnsmasq
to call /usr/bin/systemctl reload dnsmasq.service
instead of kill

There's no need for a pid file for dnsmasq and other programs should never rely on the pid file for another program.

Why is vpnc even looking for this?

After vpnc connects, it launches /usr/sbin/resolvconf to update the /etc/resolv.conf
Then resolvconf launches the handlers in /usr/lib/resolvconf/
/usr/lib/resolvconf/dnsmasq wants to notify dnsmasq that it should re-read its config files.
