The server is lists.typo3.org which works all fine, because access with thunderbird works.

Comment 1 Philipp Gampe 2012-06-29 11:44:23 UTC

Ok, it looks like there is not network connection involved. I guess it can not create a socket.
At least nothing shows up in wireshark.

Comment 2 Philipp Gampe 2012-06-29 11:57:17 UTC

Another note, it works fine if I run knode with root permissions. So this seems to be some kind of permission problem when trying to create a socket.

Comment 3 Philipp Gampe 2012-06-29 22:40:57 UTC

OK, downgrading all related packages helps:

yum downgrade  kdepimlibs  kde-runtime-libs kde-baseapps-libs  kde-runtime kde-baseapps attica kwrite kde-runtime-flags  kate-part  kdesdk-kompare kdesdk-kompare-libs kdesdk-common  kdepimlibs-akonadi kdelibs attica konsole-part  kdelibs4  kdelibs-common kdelibs4 kdemultimedia-libs kdemultimedia-common konsolelibakonadi-filestore libakonadi-xml libkdepim-copy libkdepim-runtime-dms-copy libkmindexreader libmaildir kdepim-runtime-libs  kdepim-runtime  kdepim-runtime kdepim-runtime-libs kdepim kdepim-libs kdepim kdepim-libs

Note only downgrading kdepim kdepim-libs kdepim-runtime-libs kdepim-runtime does not work.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2012-06-30 00:43:35 UTC

kio_nntp is provided by kdepimlibs, so it's likely to be there (or lower) in the stack.

Comment 5 Philipp Gampe 2012-06-30 00:55:11 UTC

I will test tomorrow. Is this an upstream bug?

What would be the best way to track down the problem?

Comment 6 Philipp Gampe 2012-07-03 11:54:29 UTC

Ok, now I did the upgrade again.

After upgrade I got the error, but after a reboot the error was gone. Thus it works now :)

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2012-09-17 19:33:43 UTC

Oh neat, seems we've banished the gremlin, i'll mark this closed (for now).  please do followup/reopen if  it happens again.
