[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] Bug#753602: bfgminer: won't connect; some kind of issue with libcurl

[Folkert van Heusden]

Package: bfgminer
Version: 4.2.0+dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I try to mine at btcguild. I use the command-line they suggest (apart from the --api* of course):

	/usr/bin/bfgminer --syslog -o stratum+tcp://eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u flok_1 -p 123 -S erupter:all --api-listen --api-network --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100

This doesn't work:
