[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1342580@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package tftp-hpa - 5.2-7ubuntu3.1

---------------
tftp-hpa (5.2-7ubuntu3.1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Replace the default value of TFTP_ADDRESS to :69 instead of [::]:69.
    The previous default caused a failure to start when the NIC is not
    available at startup time (LP: #1342580)

Bug description:
  [SRU justification]
  This fix is required in order to make sure that the tftpd daemon will be started even if the Network Interface is not yet available.

  [Impact]
  The daemon fails to start if the NIC is not enable at startup time

  [Fix]
  Remove IPv6's [::] portion of the address. The blank value is adequate as an accept-all address for both v4 & v6

  [Test Case]
  With the previous version installed, TFTP_ADDRESS reads :

  # grep -i address /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
  TFTP_ADDRESS="[::]:69"

  With the new package it reads :

  TFTP_ADDRESS=":69"

  Running the reproducer as identified in comment #18 leads to a working
  tftpd daemon even when the NIC is not yet started.

  [Regression]
  None expected. This is the solution suggested by the upstream developer (hpa) in the debian bug of the same topic :

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771441#176

  >Now, what I want to know is why you are specifying the accept-all
  >address explicitly as 0.0.0.0 instead of an empty string.
  >
  >	-hpa

  Tests were done also with a user modified TFTP_ADDRESS which lead to
  the same content before and after the upgrade. A version barrier was
  included in the postinst script to avoid rewriting the value once it
  has been changed once
