[Dovecot] "listen=*, ::" broken?

[Peer Heinlein]

Hi,

the default:

listen = *, ::

should work and should open port 143 on IPv4 and IPv6.

In my setup it looks broken:

root at mail-archiv:/etc/dovecot# doveconf  | grep ^listen
listen = *, ::
root at mail-archiv:/etc/dovecot# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Restarting mail server: dovecotError: service(imap-login): listen(::, 
143) failed: Address already in use
Fatal: Failed to start listeners
root at mail-archiv:/etc/dovecot# 


But it's working with "listen = *":

root at mail-archiv:/etc/dovecot# doveconf  | grep ^listen
listen = *
root at mail-archiv:/etc/dovecot# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Restarting mail server: dovecot.
root at mail-archiv:/etc/dovecot#
