Debian SETI works fine for me which is not surprising given it's using
the anonymous platform mechanism :)

I thought about that and did a remove --purge (including purging the
data directory) and then installed boinc-client again, with the same
result. It's strange that you can't reproduce the bug. I'm gonna
install boinc-client on another amd64 machine I have soon and will
test it there, see if that's just a hectic behaviour of my particular
setup or something else :)

Thanks for your reply
