The outspoken users here seem to be a little too brash. I think rudeness is uncalled for. Please "request" the developers for help gently.
To the developers, please provide more information before closing the bug. This is a reproducible bug and I think it is a security concern in two ways: 1. By default, connections are being established in the background. This could be used to track users on the server side. 2. These connections are then not getting closed! Even if you don't agree that this is a security issue, this is definitely a valid bug! Also, I am a little confused about what is called upstream bugs v/s ubuntu bugs. If Ubuntu is maintaining a patchset, should bugs be tracked against Ubuntu or upstream? Secondly, is there a Ubuntu patchset involved here? Finally, which packages are affected? If I don't want any of these connections until the bug s fixed, which all packages should I remove from my system?
