Also, this problem started happening in Emacs 24.

This also cause gnus to stop working in Emacs 24. The problem seems in dbpg.el 
that changes open-network-stream behavior

(defadvice open-network-stream (around debugclient-pass-process-to-comint)
  "[comint hack] Pass the spawned DBGp client process to comint."
  (let* ((buffer (ad-get-arg 1))
     (proc (buffer-local-value 'dbgp-buffer-process buffer)))
    (set-process-buffer proc buffer)
    (setq ad-return-value proc)))

Also seems to break list-packages.

Is this project dead? Should we fork on github or something?

Geben defadvice absolutely correct! The problem is may be in list-packages. I 
think there open-network-stream somehow redefined and it cause advice 
activation in geben. Possible workaround disable advise in dbgp.el. After 
(defadvice .... ) and after ad-deactivate insert 

(ad-disable-advice 'open-network-stream 'around 
'debugclient-pass-process-to-comint)

Before ad-activate insert 

(ad-enable-advice 'open-network-stream 'around 
'debugclient-pass-process-to-comint)

The workaround works for me.  If you install geben form elpa, just remember to 
re-complie dbgp.el
