Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: whois
Whois on edgy (=4.7.14) fails due to a bug in the code which parses
server:port lookups. 4.7.20 is fine.
This is quite an serious bug as it results in whois for many lookups
where there is a referal failing (e.g. try whois 155.198.0.0)
Following patch fixes the problem:

} else if ((p = strchr(input, ':'))) { /* IPv4 + port */
