Hi. I encountered this issue recently on Debian testing as well, and found this bug. Uninstalling netcat-openbsd didn't sound like a good idea, so I found this issue opened for it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=849192[1]
Basically, nc -q behaves differently and can hang now. Replacing it with nc -N can work around it. nc is used in /usr/share/playonlinux/lib/setupwindow.lib Replace nc -q with nc -N there, and POL will work fine with netcat-openbsd as well. I attach a patch with that fix. Regards, Hillel Lubman. -------- [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=849192
