No, the problem is apparent and I don't really want to debug libdnet.

You are still trying to boil this down to the mere problem with cmus,
but that's just a side effect. The real point is that roaraudio depends
on an unmaintained piece of core software which Debian would like
to get rid of. It doesn't really matter if you're able to fix this
bug now as this won't change anything about the unmaintained status
of dnet-progs.

So, please refrain from continuing the focus on this particular problem
with cmus, this is not the main issue, it's just the trigger that
brought me to the attention of this problem. I won't be bothered to
continue the discussion anymore if your only concern is this particular
problem with cmus but just eventually hand over the issue to the TC.

Which is _exactly_ the problem. It just appears that for some network
configurations it seems to get stuck forever. It seems that it affects
static network configurations. But again, it's not just this issue
but the fact that dnet-prog is unmaintained, both upstream and in
Debian and normally packages in such state - where it's apparent
that no one is going to pick it up anywhere soon - are to be removed
from Debian.

I mean, are you going to adopt the DECnet-related packages?

Adrian
