** Description changed: + [SRU justification] + This fix is required in order to make sure that the tftpd daemon will be started even if the Network Interface is not yet available. + + [Impact] + The daemon fails to start if the NIC is not enable at startup time + + [Fix] + Remove IPv6's [::] portion of the address. The blank value is adequate as an accept-all address for both v4 & v6 + + [Test Case] + With the previous version installed, TFTP_ADDRESS reads : + + # grep -i address /etc/default/tftpd-hpa + TFTP_ADDRESS="[::]:69" + + With the new package it reads : + + TFTP_ADDRESS=":69" + + Running the reproducer as identified in comment #18 leads to a working + tftpd daemon even when the NIC is not yet started. + + [Regression] + None expected. This is the solution suggested by the upstream developer (hpa) in the debian bug of the same topic : + + https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771441#176 + + >Now, what I want to know is why you are specifying the accept-all + >address explicitly as 0.0.0.0 instead of an empty string. + > + > -hpa + + Tests were done also with a user modified TFTP_ADDRESS which lead to the + same content before and after the upgrade. A version barrier was + included in the postinst script to avoid rewriting the value once it has + been changed once + + [Original description of the problem] + It is new version of Bug 522509 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tftp-hpa/+bug/522509 Since old bug was fixed for previous system.
