Uncommenting it and setting the machine's IPv4 address as the router id, then running "dpkg --configure -a" fixes the problem. Either bird6 should not be launched at package install time or an appropriate router ID should be configured in bird6.conf. ** Affects: bird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: trusty ** Tags added: trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1342173 Title: BIRD 1.4.0-1 fails to start on Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bird/+bug/1342173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
