Bug#500558: apache2.2-common: Apache fails to start on boot after upgrade Etch -> Lenny

[Ian Zimmerman <itz@buug.org>]

For me, it happens with 127.0.0.1 .
I really, really don't want to explicitly say in /e/n/i that lo is 127.0.0.1 .

This is intermittent; I'd say it happens about 25% of the time.  And,
when I manually start apache (with invoke-rc.d apache2 start) after the
boot is done, it starts fine.  So, I suspect this is some kind of race
condition, perhaps apache is trying to bind to the interface before udev
is completely done with it?

Here my /etc/network.interfaces:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# PCI network interface
iface eth0 inet manual

# The on-board network interface
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
      ip-rp-filter 1

here's /etc/apache2/ports.conf:

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
# This is also true if you have upgraded from before 2.2.9-3 (i.e. from
# Debian etch). See /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/NEWS.Debian.gz and
# README.Debian.gz

#NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 127.0.0.1:80

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    # SSL name based virtual hosts are not yet supported, therefore no
    # NameVirtualHost statement here
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

(ssl is not enabled, so the IfModule block should be irrelevant)

lastly, here's /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:

<VirtualHost *:80>
