Assuming "OS 1" means errno 1 was returned, that's EPERM, which is
"Operation not permitted". Assuming this is coming from socket(2), that
correlates with:
[EPERM] User has insufficient privileges to carry out the
requested operation.
Do you have firewall rules or anything like that on this system? Is the
network interface actually up/usable at this point? Some Linux folks
have seen this problem (bug is still open):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/397393
The Apache code in question which returns this error is in
server/listen.c. The error check is on line 323, and puts focus on APR
not so much Apache (httpd):
311 status = apr_socket_create(&new->sd, new->bind_addr->family,
312 SOCK_STREAM, 0, process->pool);
313
314 #if APR_HAVE_IPV6
315 /* What could happen is that we got an IPv6 address, but this system
316 * doesn't actually support IPv6. Try the next address.
317 */
318 if (status != APR_SUCCESS && !addr &&
319 new->bind_addr->family == APR_INET6) {
320 continue;
321 }
322 #endif
323 if (status != APR_SUCCESS) {
324 ap_log_perror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_CRIT, status, process->pool,
325 "alloc_listener: failed to get a socket for %s",
326 addr);
327 return "Listen setup failed";
328 }
The ChangeLog between Apache 2.2.17 and 2.2.19 indicates absolutely no
changes were made WRT IPv6 code, so again that puts focus on APR.

The APR ChangeLog is filled with IPV6-related changes with 1.4.3, so the
question here is basically "what APR version were you using before you
upgraded"?
http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/CHANGES-APR-1.4
apr_socket_create() for *IX is in network_io/unix/sockets.c around line
91, so let's look via ViewVC to see who's touched things recently
(though we have no idea what timeframe we should be looking at, since we
don't know what APR version you were using before the upgrade):
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/apr/apr/tags/1.4.5/network_io/unix/sockets.c?view=log
