Package: linphone-nogtk Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/linphonec Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I did an upgrade and lost a excellent working linphone installation :-( I realise that this is probably an upstream problem, but removing an excellent working linphone and replacing it with a barely documented substitute which appears to only have 5% of the old functionality without warning is really poor. Removing the GUI completely is pretty dire. I am very comfortable with the cli, but it is completely unclear how it is intended to be used. To be a bit more specific: 1) Starting linphonec gives a series of error messages: belle-sip-error-Cannot connect to [UDP://sipgate.co.uk:5060] 2021-01-03 13:10:21:607 belle-sip-error-belle_sip_get_src_addr_for: bctbx_connect() failed: Network is unreachable [..snip 5 repeats ] These do not seem to prevent outgoing calls, so perhaps as just informative, although it is unclear what is happening. 2) There seems to be no acccess to ~/.linphone-friends.db linphonec> friend list gives no results. Checking ~./linphone-friends.db with sqlite3 ~/.linphone-friends.db shows that all the contacts are still there. How is linphonec usable without access to the "directory". 3) How is linphonec supposed to answer calls? Yes there is an "answer" command, but is a copy of linphonec supposed to be running perhaps in a terminal to accept calls? >From the linphonecsh man page and inspection with htop, it seems that linphonec has an undocumented --pipe option, which presumably is the answer to the question above. It is unclear how an incoming call is signalled. I am sorry to be so negative, and perhaps need to do more reading, but such a sudden downgrade without warning is upsetting. Thank you for all the working in maintaining the package. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
