[Bug 397393] [NEW] can't bind to ::1

[lirel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apache2

the configuration directive
     Listen [::1]:3000
in Server Configuration context in ports.conf line 12 fails with:
 [crit] (EAI 9)Address family for hostname not supported: alloc_listener: failed to set up sockaddr for ::1
 Syntax error on line 12 of <snip>ports.conf:
 Listen setup failed

omitting the address and only specifying the port works seamlessly but lets apache2 only bind to ipv4 addresses
the ipv6 kernel module is loaded and ping6 ::1 works

i'm running the apache instance as normal user with ServerRoot in my
homedir
