After upgrading today I cannot use MPC anymore. Every time I send a command the output says:

`pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mpc status error: Connection refused`

If I use `-verbose` I can make it work, it’ll take quite long to respond though:

`pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mpc status -v Nolan Porter - I Like What You Give [paused] #29/35 0:42/3:12 (21%) volume:100% repeat: off random: on single: off consume: off`

Anyone having the issues or some ideas to fix the issue?

I narrowed the issue down to the fact, that mopidy as a service takes much longer to start up since the update.
