CUPS conf IPv6 error - takes ::1 and [(xxxx:)^8], but crews up at [::1]

Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

cupsd.conf configuration file is inconsistent about IPv6 addressed in ACL rules (Allow / Deny)

It takes "::1" and "[xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]" patterns,
but daemon exits with its universal message (that it can't read config file) when it gets "[::1]" or IPv6 address without [ ].

It is quite hard to suspect, that (knowing that ::1 works and [::1] does not) it works this way.
And by hard I mean >1h I spend by brute-forcing which of the lines causes trouble.
