I upgraded a working MDK 8.2 installation to MDK 10.1 (powerpack)
The new 10.1 gives me some error messages during the boot process that
I don't understand. One of them is:
Error, some other host already uses address 127.0.0.1.
[A more complete example of the error message is shown below.]
This confuses me. Why would the "loopback filesystem" be OK and mounted
yet the "loopback interface" fail? What other host could possibly be
using address 127.0.0.1?
And much more importantly what can I do about it?
I do want cups to work properly after all... And isn't the loopback
device needed to make local email work?
