FTL not starting

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

running FTL service

Actual Behaviour:

FTL process crashes

Debug Token:

8mxhxrihfl

I did also run it through gdb as described here:

interestingly running it via gdb, it does work. I could eliminate one bug through this: a missing /var/run/pihole directory.

also tried to comment out log-queries=extra /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf, but no success.

OS raspian 9.4
