Package: linphone
Version: 3.6.1-3
Severity: grave
Tags: ipv6
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading from Jessie 8 to Stretch 9 (64bits), Linphone has become
inoperative.
Linphone was used without problem with the setup and parameters under Jessie.
With the same configuration under Stretch, at start-up Linphone complains as
follows:
Could not start tls transport on port 5060, maybe this port is already
used.
It is impossible to establish a call, or register to a SIP server.
The following approaches were attempted:
a) Changing from TLS to UDP or TCP
Result: exactly the same problem remains.
b) Modifying the port number
Result: no matter what port number is put, exactly the same issue
occurs.
Checking with lsof -i -n -P, it appears that none of the ports
introduced
are actually used. Linphone believes a port is in use while it is not.
d) Relying upon IPv6 instead of IPv4.
Result:
c.1) Linphone no longer complains about an occupied port.
c.2) Linphone starts correctly listening to the port in question.
lsof -i -n -P | egrep -i 5060 shows (for instance)
linphone 9737 casaise 25u IPv6 281289 0t0 UDP
*:5060
c.3) However, it remains impossible to register the accounts to SIP
servers.
c.4) Calling test accounts results in Linphone attempting to establish
the
call but never managing to do it (timing out).
e) Some in the Internet suggest that the reason is a lack of privileges for the
user
and that adding the user to the group plugdev or netdev could resolve the
situation.
Result: the problem remains as it is.
f) The SIP utility Ekiga was also installed (but not started). Using Synaptic,
it was
removed from the installation.
Result: the problem remains as it is.
It may be that the in-place upgrade from Jessie to Stretch has left Linphone in
an
inconsistent state. I respectfully ask whether there is a workaround to the
above
problem.

Hello,
you have reported a bug against Linhone 3.12 or earlier. This version
has been deprecated upstream for a couple of years and the old Gtk+
client has has been replaced with a new Qt-based client called
linphone-desktop. This will (hopefully) be released with Debian 11 aka
Bullseye.
We are sorry we could not deal with your bug report in time. However,
keeping your bug report open while we can neither check nor fix the
outdated client is not helpful in trying to iron out the remaining bugs
in the new client, so I have decided to close this bugreport.
Unfortunately, due to depending on Qt 5.12+ linphone-desktop cannot be
provided in buster-backports. If you can, please try the new client on
testing and report bugs.
