[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#1080449: Bug#1080449: dig no longer works over tor; hangs and never times out

[Hefee]

Version: 2.5.0-1

Hey,

at least with the current version in Trixie, the issue is kind of solved, it 
does not hang anymore for ever. Sure the current version in Trixie is still 
affected by #1069949, so the request is transmitted in the clearnet - what is 
not the expected outcome - but this bug is tracked within #1069949. That's why 
I don't see any value to keep this on open.

But feel free to disagree and give me your point of view or provide a valid 
set of packages in Trixie or unstable, with that this is reproducible.

Regards,

hefee
