Bug Description

Binary package hint: netatalk

Setting up netatalk (2.0.3-6ubuntu1) ...
Starting Netatalk services (this will take a while): socket: Address family not supported by protocol
socket: Address family not supported by protocol
atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting.
invoke-rc.d: initscript netatalk, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing netatalk (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 netatalk
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Probably because of that i'm running my own kernel which missed support for "< > Appletalk protocol support".
Now it's enabled, but APT is still broken... (i'm getting the same error whatever i do).

Solved it by recompiling the kernel with APS support, and adding "eth-loc" in "/etc/netatalk/atalkd.conf" for using the correct interface. Then "apt-get -f install"
But i think this can cause problems for new users...
