Package: transmission
Version: 1.06-1
Severity: minor
Here we see that there's no way do any operations in transmission
without it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoning_home or something.
$ transmission -p
sendto: Network is unreachable
(This message only discovered because I happened to be offline.)
I.e., the user has no method to use transmission (to just say look at
some details of his torrents) without the worry that transmission will
attempt to connect to the Internet. Yes, probably not phoning home,
but phoning somebody, for reasons unknown.
Compare this with firefox, which one can use offline without the worry
that it will be phoning its friends or something, usually.
Anyway, transmission shouldn't even probe the Internet connection if
not asked to (start transferring anything.)

I got the very same warning with eth0 disabled:
$ ifconfig eth0 down
$ transmission -p
sendto: Network is unreachable
However, strace shows that transmission is just searching for UPnP
devices:
[pid 12304] sendto(18, "M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST: 239.2"..., 137, 0,
{sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1900),
sin_addr=inet_addr("239.255.255.250")}, 16) = -1 ENETUNREACH (Network is
unreachable)
[pid 12304] dup(2) = 19
[pid 12304] fcntl64(19, F_GETFL) = 0x10001 (flags
O_WRONLY|O_LARGEFILE)
[pid 12304] close(19) = 0
[pid 12304] write(2, "sendto: Network is unreachable\n", 31sendto:
Network is unreachable
See third-party/miniupnp/miniupnpc.c
I'm therefore closing this bug.
