Public bug reported:

lighttpd does not start automatically even if it is configured to start
automatically. Starting it manually after the system is up works.

Looks like lighttpd fails because dnsmasq does start late and trying to
resolve hosts name fails. In tune lighttpd stops and is not restarted by
systemd.

dnsmasq may start late if some interfaces are created late it is
configured to bind to. I am seeing this problem with installed:

- vmware workstation
- vmware player
- virtual box
- kvm (if networking is build up via script while starting kvm)

dnsmasq may delay starting in such cases until all interfaces are up and
configured. lighttpd does not wait until this happened. It bails out
with resolver errors.
