The OBS build environment does not support multicast. To make the build of the debian packages work, the test gets skipped now:

    if (!is_multicast_enabled()) {
        fprintf(stderr, "WARNING: multicast is disabled, skipping the test! (OS#4361)");
        return 77;
    }

The test is still running in gerrit-verification and master-builds, and when building locally on a typical dev machine.

After mentioning this in the meeting today, it was recommended to create an issue about it, to possibly replace the multicast code path with a unicast code path as fallback (or add other stubs to make it work).
