[tor-relays] Tor relay failed to start after upgrade (0.4.4.6 --> 0.4.5.5) [solved]

[tschador@xxxxxxxxx]

Tonight my Tor relay on Raspberry Pi (buster) was upgraded from 
0.4.4.6-1~bpo10+1 to 0.4.5.5-rc-1~bpo10+1 automaticly, but failed to start:

---
[notice] Opening OR listener on 0.0.0.0:587
[notice] Opened OR listener connection (ready) on 0.0.0.0:587
[notice] Opening OR listener on [::]:587
[warn] Socket creation failed: Address family not supported by protocol
[notice] Opening Directory listener on 0.0.0.0:995
[notice] Closing partially-constructed OR listener connection (ready) on 
0.0.0.0:587
[notice] Closing partially-constructed Directory listener connection 
(ready) on 0.0.0.0:995
---

Until then there was no change in my torrc:

  ORPort 587
  DIRPORT 995

It seems the value [address:] is no longer optional if you're not IPv6 
ready [1]:

  ORPort [address:]PORT|auto [flags]
  DirPort [address:]PORT|auto [flags]

So I have to change my torrc to:

  ORPort 0.0.0.0:587
  DIRPORT 0.0.0.0:995

Problem solved!
