This looks broken: That should be only ".../CDS_Control" without the
trailing "sc". This looks like the bug I recently found in the UPnP library;

Could you please check your version of "libupnp": If you recently
upgraded your system, the new version could now be a broken one:

$ LANG=C apt-cache policy libupnp6
libupnp6:
  Installed: 1:1.6.19-0.1
  Candidate: 1:1.6.19-0.1
  Version table:
 *** 1:1.6.19-0.1 0
        990 file:/srv/debian/ local/ Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:1.6.17-1.2 0
        990 http://localhost:9999/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages

1.6.17-1.2 is broken, 1.6.19-0.1 is my self-compiled fixed version.

Sincerely
Philipp
