| Subject: | Failed to bind to '[::1]:6600': Address already in use |
Hi,
I'm forwarding Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?
bug=667062
Apparently, there are differences even among Debian systems about the
addresses that "localhost" refers to, with some systems interpreting the
name as IPv4-only, whereas other systems take it to refer to both the
IPv4 (127.0.0.1) as well as the IPv6 (::1) localhost address, and a
sentiment that the latter is arguably more correct. Unfortunately, on
the latter systems, t/00-compile.t fails with the error message "could
not start fake mpd: Failed to bind to '[::1]:6600': Address already in
use", as ::1 is already taken when binding to "localhost", and cannot be
bound to twice.
The following patch fixes this problem by disambiguating the address to
bind to:
