[Shriram Ravindranathan]

Package: monopd
Version: 0.10.2-6+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: s20n at ters.dev

Dear Maintainer,

monopd.service fails to start (could not bind port 1234), rendering the package unusable.

Here is the lsof output after the package is installed:
systemd      1        root   47u  IPv6 198704      0t0  TCP *:1234 (LISTEN)
exim4     1116 Debian-exim    4u  IPv4  20710      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:25 (LISTEN)
exim4     1116 Debian-exim    5u  IPv6  20711      0t0  TCP [::1]:25 (LISTEN)

This was on a fresh install of bookworm. Here are the journalctl logs:
