Thanks for the reply Thomas. I've collected the 'set -x' output in the
following annotated log:
=======> Demonstrate that original config includes interface
=======> that is no longer available, which I've searched and
=======> replaced as enxREDACTED1:
$ cat /etc/default/minissdpd
# MiniSSDPd default configuration
# Set this to 1 if you want to start the daemon
# START_DAEMON deprecated, use service minissdpd enable/disable
#START_DAEMON=1
# Set this to the IP/interface you want the demon to run on
# Notes:
# 1. It is mandatory to use the network interface name in order to enable IPv6
# HTTP is available on all interfaces.
# 2. Specifying IP when built with IPv6 support is disabled by original
# author, so this option may not be available outside Debian.
