Package: jwhois
Version: 4.0-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Running jwhois 4.0-1 on debian stable (amd64) keeps complaining with the
following:

$ jwhois -v 173.194.70.94
[Querying whois.arin.net]
[Unable to connect to remote host]

This is what tcpdump thinks about the conversation to whois.arin.net

# tcpdump -n -i wlan0
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
