Subject: Bug#686242: gnutls-serv does not listen on ipv6

Package: gnutls-bin
Version: 3.0.22-2
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6 patch

On Linux with /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only == 0 (which is now the
default), gnutls-serv cannot listen on ipv6:

$ gnutls-serv -p 5544
Set static Diffie-Hellman parameters, consider --dhparams.
HTTP Server listening on IPv4 0.0.0.0 port 5544...done
HTTP Server listening on IPv6 :: port 5544...bind() failed: Address already in use

Attached patch fixes that:

$ ./gnutls-serv -p 5555
Set static Diffie-Hellman parameters, consider --dhparams.
HTTP Server listening on IPv4 0.0.0.0 port 5555...done
HTTP Server listening on IPv6 :: port 5555...done

The patch works both against 3.0.20-3 and 3.0.22-2.
