[Bug 1838246] Re: Nginx 1.14.0 fails to start if ipv6 support on host is disabled

[Andreas Hasenack]

I just disbaled ipv6 on a plain bionic system, with the released package
of nginx (no updates), and nginx fails to start with the same error, so
this is not a regression introduced in a bionic update:

root at bionic-nginx:~# service nginx status
