dnet-common to be exactly now. libdnet is not problematic at all

It is a packaging issue of roaraudio. Nothin decnet related.

John... There is just a depends on a library pushing not more than yet
another lib on the system. Why? Because roaraudio is using some
functions of it. Where is the problem? Nowhere.
So John. What is *your* problem? I am not "stubbhorn" about this
"issue". It just looks like you made it to your religion to argue
against it at all without any arguments. You argue with release critical
bugs which do not exist etc etc..

Please use your free time to do something more innovative, like planting
a tree.. But never again add me to a troll discussion just because Ron
wants so.
