Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lighttpd

If IPv6 is enabled in the lighttpd config, as it is per default,
lighttpd fails to start with "address already in use" even with nothing
listening on port 80 (checked with netstat -ln). The strace shows
"bind(5, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(80), inet_pton(AF_INET6,
"::", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1
EADDRINUSE (Address already in use)". Disabling IPv6 by uncommenting
"include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl" in
/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf in the config solves this. The server is
setup with a static IPv4 address and has a self-assigned IPv6 address
reported by ifconfig of "inet6 addr: fe80::a00:xxxx:xxxx:5061/64
Scope:Link
