Addendum: I couldn't reproduce this with a build from master immediately, but if I don't leave my home directory I could reproduce it. Even the build from master with PR1820 applied shows this behavior. If I start the Manager while my current directory is not my home directory (e.g. /, /usr/bin/, ~/someotherdir/) the command "boincmgr -n localhost" works as expected (for both versions Debian and master+1820) and shows me the client information. It just doesn't work when you run it in your home directory which is the place I would expect it to work not the other way around. Regards Christian
