Bug#648990: get_myaddress: getifaddrs: Connection refused

This may be a non-bug. My machine crashed (kernel panic), and on reboot it has gone away. If it's random hardware flakiness, sorry about the noise. I'll try to remember to close it in a week if it hasn't reoccurred. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with
