Hello,

I'm currently using KDE 4.9 from qt-kde.debian.net and so far the packages all
seem to work well, so thanks for them!

However I noticed that some KDE processes started to listen on external Ports.
Here is my output from "lsof -n -i -P":

This seems to be some kind of UPnP or something similar. I tried to disable it
somehow, but couldn't find a configuration switch anywhere.

In my network I don't want to use UPnP and it doesn't make sense for me to use
it, so I just want to disable it.

So I'm asking if anybody has experienced similar behavior or knows how I can
disable it. I did search on the internet but couldn't find anything useful
about this. I think this started with the upgrade to KDE 4.9, through I'm not
100% sure.

Greetings and thanks for your work,
Maxi

I see the same behaviour with the experimental-snapshots packages.

When trying to compile experimental I noticed kde4libs had started depending
on libhupnp.

This is because of the upnp support like you said; it was disabled in git so
this won't happen with the next kde4libs update.
