Bug#564527: vdradmin-am: Can't connect to VDR at localhost

[Tony Houghton]

Package: vdradmin-am
Version: 3.6.5-1
Severity: important


Since upgrading, vdradmin shows this message in my browser:

"Can't connect to VDR at localhost:2001

Please check if VDR is running and if VDR's svdrphosts.conf is configured
correctly."

VDR is running and configured correctly; I can telnet to it on port
2001, and vdradmin-am 3.6.4-1 from testing still works correctly. I
tried replacing my vdradmind.conf with the example in case an old option
is incompatible with 3.6.5-1, but it still doesn't work.
