nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

I checked with the poster. They marked this as 'Invalid' because of non-response, and thougth that it was mis-filed.

Jst because a bug has no responses does not mean it is not looked at. I have reset the bug's status to 'new' accordingly after discussing the nature of this bug with the poster via email.

We've now fixed this in Debian.

In debian/conf/sites-available/default:

    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6_only=on;

I'm marking this Fix Committed since the fix has been committed to the upstream for this package. I'm going to leave it up to Thomas to decide whether or not a patch needs to be built for Ubuntu specifically. That should depend entirely on which Ubuntu releases are affected.

Thomas: If you need to discuss this with me, I'll be in the lounge.

I've got a fixed version of this prepared for Raring, but just in case I broke something accidentally, I'm running build-tests and testing on this.

Rowan, does this bug only occur on Raring, or does it happen on any other versions of Ubuntu?

Raring debdiff attached. Adding ubuntu-sponsors to this.

Fix committed is wrong status for the Ubuntu package task, instead triaged is correct which means that "a fix for this has been identified but needs to be packaged/uploaded"
If there is an equivalent bug report in Debian for this issue, one can open an extra task pointing to the debian bug ("also affects distribution" button) that way there would be two tasks, with debian one - fix released, and ubuntu one - trianged.

@Michael Lustfield
Are you planning to make an upload into experimental or sid? There is no other delta in nginx package and on ubuntu side we can just sync it from debian.

Thomas it only applies to raring and the ppa here https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable

Since I still don't see a fixed version in Debian we can sync, I've applied the debdiff to Raring (albeit with a slightly modified version number).

Thanks for the debdiff!

This bug was fixed in the package nginx - 1.2.6-1ubuntu1

---------------
nginx (1.2.6-1ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * debian/conf/sites-available/default:
    * Modify default site default configuration file to bind to IPv6
      only for IPv6 default listen statement (LP: #1132678)

The patch have a misspelling: "ipv6_only=on" must be replaced by "ipv6only=on"
