Requirements

Libevent useful for 1000+ outgoing ports.

Slackware

slackpkg search libevent
ls -lF /var/log/packages/libevent*

Debian/Ubuntu

apt install libevent-dev
# libexpat1-dev

and make sure you do NOT have those installed or enabled

dpkg -l | grep dnsmasq
dpkg -l | grep resolvconf
systemctl status systemd-resolved

also clean-up the package in case you had it

systemctl stop unbound
apt purge unbound

ls -lF /etc/unbound/unbound.conf
ls -alF /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/
