Package: dict
Version: 1.13.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
The dict client cannot connect to the dictd server running on localhost
if I have an interface without addresses configured. This is not dictd's
fault: I can still manually query the server using netcat. I can
reproduce this with both dummy interfaces and my wireless interface.
