Minimal viable statsdreceiver not working

Description

I'm testing setting up a pipeline to receive DogStatsD metrics emitted from the third-party service we host. When setting up a toy example of a otel-collector with a statsd pipeline defined I'm afraid I haven't been able to print statsd metrics received via the debug or file exporters.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a config file with the contents:

receivers:
  statsd:
    endpoint: "0.0.0.0:8125"
    aggregation_interval: 10s

exporters:
  debug:
    verbosity: normal
  file:
    path: /tmp/output/test.json

service:
  telemetry:
    logs:
      level: "DEBUG"
  pipelines:
    metrics:
     receivers:
       - statsd
     exporters:
       - debug
       - file

Run with docker:

docker run \
    -it \
    -v ./test2.yaml:/tmp/config.yaml \. # where test2.yaml is the name of the config from above
    -v ./output:/tmp/output \
    -p 8125:8125/udp \
    -p 8888:8888 \
    otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.104.0 --config=file:/tmp/config.yaml

In another window, publish message via:

echo "test.metric:42|c|#myKey:myVal" | nc -u -6 localhost 8125;

Expected Result

netcat command should exit and a reference to the test.metric should display in the collector logs via the debug exporter, and in the output/test.json.

Actual Result

netcat hangs and nothing shows up in either exporter.

Collector version

0.104.0
