What configuration was in use to get that exact error message. If
dnsmasq is binding the wildcard address (0.0.0.0), I'd expect to see a
message  like

dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53

Whilst if dnsmasq is configured to bind the hosts addresses, I'd expect
to see something like

dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.151.1

So I'm confused how you're getting the message with an IP address, but
for the 0.0.0.0 wildcard address.

Cheers,

Simon
