[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#498916: avahi-daemon: use-ipv6=no doesn't stop use of ipv6

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.22-3
Severity: normal


I can't disable ipv6 because use-ipv6=no is insufficient to stop the daemon from using ipv6 (syslog shows registering ipv6 addresses and avahi-resolve --name name.local shows an ipv6 address.  This is a problem because I am trying to use avahi for a network that is separate by a non-ipv6 router (but can pass mDNS traffic).  The router can see both sides but they can't talk to each other using avahi.local names because they're trying to use ipv6.
