[Bug 510587] [NEW] Bind/named does not initialize on boot due to missing IPv6 address

[Vihai]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bind9


Hello,

After a reboot I noticed that named did not start. Starting it manually
worked fine.

In the log I found:

Jan 21 11:27:40 sid named[1315]: starting BIND 9.6.1-P2 -u bind

It looks like the IPv6 address was not yet assigned to the interface,
thus named wasn't able to listen on it.
