On machines with more than one address, it is sometimes necessary to
set the bind address for the local service ports.  This feature
appears to work correctly.  However, this should also change the
source address for requests to the servers such that the address used
by the servers to connect back to the amule session is the address
where the ports are bound.

Consider the case where a host has a local and unroutable primary
address on eth0.  By default, TCP requests from this host will be
forwarded through a firewall and give NAT.  A second address which is
routable is added to the host.  The amule bind address is set to the
second routable address.  Yet when the application makes requests to
the servers it will have the NAT address of the firewall instead of
the routable address.

Changing the source address for TCP connections as the bind address
will correct this problem.

Hi Marc,

Could you please try to replicate this behaviour with v2.3.1~rc1-1
currently in experimental?

Regards,

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
amule, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

Changes:
 amule (1:3.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream release
     - fixes the configure failure on every architecture but amd64 and arm64:
       the workaround for the broken UPNP.cmake export shipped by libupnp-dev
       only looked in the amd64 and arm64 libdirs, and now goes through
       CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE (upstream #247); this is what salsa merge
       request !11 works around, which is thus no longer needed
     - guards the crypto++ and glib try_run probes with CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING
       (upstream #1459), the remaining bit of salsa merge request !9
     - ships amuleapi, a REST API and server-sent events daemon with a new
       web interface; amuleweb is deprecated upstream
     - pins the egress interface of every socket, outbound server connections
       included, through a new "network interface" preference rather than the
       existing bind address (upstream #281); Closes: #609181
   * debian/rules
     - build amuleapi (-DBUILD_AMULEAPI=ON)
     - build against the packaged picojson (-DUSE_SYSTEM_PICOJSON=ON) rather
       than the copy bundled in src/libwebcommon/
     - upstream renamed DEFAULT_VERSION_CHECK to ENABLE_VERSION_CHECK; pass
       the new name so the in-app version check stays out (#554623)
   * debian/control
     - build-depend on picojson-dev
     - mention amuleapi in the amule-daemon description
     - amule, amule-daemon: suggest ffmpeg; media metadata extraction is on by
       default upstream now and shells out to ffprobe, degrading gracefully
       when it is missing
   * debian/amule-daemon.install
     - install amuleapi and its manual page
   * debian/amule-common.install
     - install the amuleapi static frontend
   * debian/amule.install
     - install the shared-mime-info package for eMule collection files
   * debian/amule-daemon.docs
     - ship the amuleapi quickstart and the REST API reference
   * debian/amule-daemon.NEWS
     - document the amuleweb deprecation and the new amuleapi daemon
   * debian/copyright
     - cover the bundled picojson and libutp copies
     - follow the rename of the AppStream metainfo file to *.in
     - drop the stanza for the copy of wxWidgets' listctrl, removed upstream
       with the migration to wxDataViewCtrl, and with it the last reference to
       the old FSF postal address
