Bug #357385 reported by fabtagon on 2009-04-07

This bug report is a duplicate of: Bug #332332: mpd won't properly install untill localhost changed to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/mpd.conf. Edit Remove

Bug Description

Binary package hint: mpd

When starting mpd (i.e. while installing the package) mpd claims port 6600 to be used and dumps core.

root@hermod:~# /usr/bin/mpd --verbose
binding to address for localhost
unable to bind port 6600: Address already in use
maybe MPD is still running?
Aborted (core dumped)

But obviously that port is free:

root@hermod:~# telnet localhost 6600
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
root@hermod:~#

Package version is mpd 0.14.2-3ubuntu1.
Encountered on xubuntu-9.04 development branch (jaunty)
uname: 2.6.28-11-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP i686

This should be another issue than #273721 as the messages are different and the solution proposed there does not work.

Thanks for reporting this bug. Can you look at bug 332332 and try the suggestion there to edit /etc/mpd.conf and change the bind_to_address from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1", please. If that works, is this a duplicate of that bug?

Thanks again for helping.

Changed in mpd (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Incomplete

I don't know how I have missed that bug report when searching for the problem in the bug database, but it really exactly looks like #332332 (and can be worked around the same way). Sorry for posting a duplicate; I've marked it accordingly.

Thanks for your help & a hardworking Easter bunny for you ;-)
