Description

On the latest update (2.3.1_1 - and also occurred on 2.3), when OpenVPN is set to listen on v6 only, it fails to start at boot with the error

May 26 10:55:15 gw-lon-gs2 openvpn12179: TCP/UDP: Socket bind failed on local address [AF_INET6]xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx:yyyyy: Can't assign requested address

This appears to be because the IPv6 addresses haven't yet been assigned to the interfaces. If I then manually start the OpenVPN servers after the system has finished booting, it "just works" and I don't have to do anything special.

Hardware platform: amd64 (KVM Virtual Machine) using e1000 network cards
