[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#599758: klibido: "Cannot connect" error - tries localhost:nntp?!

[Christian Hammers]

Package: klibido
Version: 0.2.5-7+b1
Severity: important

klibido does not work any more. When trying to download the article list of a
group it enters an endless loop of connecting to the server. It never succeds
because it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead of the servers address!
After completely removing ~/.klibido it shows the same behaviour when trying to
download the servers grouplist.

I tried both the servers hostname and one of its IP adresses in the "server"
field but no success. It did work some month ago with the same settings.

A tcpdump shows it's connection attempts:
