You could try to search for the 2.76 package for your OS or (I would recommend this), switch to FTLDNS beta (doesn't rely on system's dnsmasq - comes with it's own tweaked code based on dnsmasq) and that will address your issue.

Setup might fail due to network manager.

You'll probably have to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and comment out or remove the line with dns=dnsmasq

then sudo nano /etc/resolve.conf and edit 127.0.0.1 to 1.1.1.1.

Then run the code from the post above to get the beta version.

That procedure, should prevent errors during install.
