Package: libgnomevfs2-0
Version: 2.12.2-5
Severity: important
I find it rather curious for GNOME to keep adding features just like
that. Fact is, pulling in avahi really breaks existing setups.
I use DHCP here. If avahi-server (which is pulled in through the
howl compat library by the latest libgnomevfs2-0) is started,
I obtain a lease, and 10 seconds later *something* releases that
lease again. If I stop avahi-server and obtain the lease, everything
works fine.
I will file a separate bug about this against avahi-server when
I find out more. I don't use GNOME, just gucharmap (which I need).
I don't see why I have to install avahi-daemon (and a whole lot of
other crap) just to be able to use gucharmap. This *is* Debian,
after all.
Please make avahi stuff a recommendation or suggestion, not
a dependency. Adding run-time linking abilities (i.e. loading the
library when it's available at run-time, not at compile time) isn't
*that* hard.

Gnome-VFS only depends on the *client* avahi libraries. If you have a
closer look at the dependencies, avahi-daemon is only recommended by
libavahi-client3, this is not a strong dependency. You can safely remove
avahi-daemon and have gnome-VFS still working.
