Package: xbrlapi Version: 5.4-4
After installing Debian Stretch last week, I noticed constant network activity which shouldn't be there on lo and which looks like this:
root@breizh:/home/acki# nethogs -a -t Adding local address: xxxxx Adding local address: xxxxx Ethernet link detected Adding local address: 127.0.0.1 Ethernet link detected Waiting for first packet to arrive (see sourceforge.net bug 1019381) Refreshing: unknown TCP/0/0 0 0 Refreshing: 127.0.0.1:43580-127.0.0.1:4101/0/0 0.0144531 0 127.0.0.1:4101-127.0.0.1:43578/0/0 0.0210938 0 127.0.0.1:43578-127.0.0.1:4101/0/0 0.0144531 0 unknown TCP/0/0 0 0 Refreshing: 127.0.0.1:43584-127.0.0.1:4101/0/0 0.0144531 0 127.0.0.1:43582-127.0.0.1:4101/0/0 0.0144531 0 127.0.0.1:43580-127.0.0.1:4101/0/0 0.0144531 0 127.0.0.1:4101-127.0.0.1:43578/0/0 0.0421875 0 127.0.0.1:43578-127.0.0.1:4101/0/0 0.0144531 0 unknown TCP/0/0 0 0 ... After some research I found out that uninstalling xbrlapi, which got installed as a recommended package by gnome-orca solves the issue. I believe a package that can't find its hardware shouldn't do such aggressive polling and thus this should be fixed. Note: For the network activity on lo to end, a reboot was necessary, just logging off and on again from the X-Session didn't solve the issue. I haven't got any braille-related hardware and I didn't select intentionally any braille-related package. Here's someone from France who had the same issue and whose advice I followed: https://debian-facile.org/viewtopic.php?pid=200466#p200466 My architecture is amd64. Sorry for any inconvenience, this is my first bug report ever for Debian. -Acki
