Public bug reported:

gnome-user-share (as of 3.0.0, as seen in Oneiric beta) tries to
discover a free port to run Apache on by bind()ing a struct sockaddr_in
with no port specified in src/http.c:get_port(). However, it neglects to
specify an address family, so that attempt fails with EINVAL, and the -1
returned gets passed to spawn_httpd() as the port that Apache should be
listening on, which causes to Apache promptly and silently bail. I've
attached a debdiff that contains a patch fixing this by specifying
AF_INET as the address family.
