If a web camera has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, motion tries to connect
to 0.0.0.0:80.

Entering only the IPv4 address to /etc/hosts solves the problem.

Hello,


I recently took over maintenance for the package motion in Debian.

This bug is quite old and related to old version of motion. Since it
hasn't got any update since 2012, I have the sensation it can be closed.

I'll wait a little bit for a feedback before closing it.
