Bug#363939: asterisk-classic: SIP not starting on reboot

[Jonathan Addleman]

Package: asterisk-classic
Version: 1:1.2.4.dfsg-7
Severity: normal

Not sure what's happening here, but on one of my two machines, SIP
doesn't seem to be starting up on a reboot. After booting, 
'netstat -plu | grep asterisk' shows this:

udp        0      0 *:4520           *:* 5538/asterisk       
udp        0      0 *:iax            *:* 5538/asterisk       


And then if I do /etc/init.d/asterisk restart, the same command shows:

udp        0      0 *:4520           *:* 5906/asterisk       
udp        0      0 *:sip            *:* 5906/asterisk       
udp        0      0 *:iax            *:* 5906/asterisk       

/var/log/asterisk/messages shows this line:

chan_sip.c: Unable to get own IP address, SIP disabled

So I expect that asterisk is starting before the network is up. I'm
connecting via pppoe, if that changes anything. Another machine I have
doesn't experience this problem at all, though it's connecting to
another ISP - perhaps the problem machine just takes a long time to get
its IP address from the ISP?

In any case, especially when asterisk is bound to 0.0.0.0, it shouldn't
matter whether it can get the IP or not, it seems to me.
