Hello Bernhard,

OK.

OK, fair enough.

OK, fair enough.

More than once in the past I've jumped to a testing release.  In every 
case the system became more troublesome than remaining in stable.  
=8~(  Consequently I resolved to avoid testing in the future.  Testing 
should be installed on a spare machine or in spare storage; never on a 
primary workstation. I don't have a testing system at present and will 
wait for bullseye.

> I have decided to close this bugreport.

My preference is to leave the report until bullseye becomes stable and 
linphone can be tested properly there.  Opening, closing, opening, 
closing and etc. is less efficient than leaving the report until 
development progresses and the bug can be resolved properly.

Regards,                        ... P. Easthope
