From journal errors:

Apr 28 09:40:54 hostname in.tftpd[3540]: cannot resolve local IPv4 bind address: 127.0.0.1, Name or service not known

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

Based on the log messages above it looks like it was unable to bind to
the local ip address. I wonder if this is because the network was not
up yet. If you restart the tftp service does it come up?
