[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] avahi-daemon

[Karl Schmidt]

Not sure how to report this correctly - I have now fixed two machines that were broken by the 
installation of avahi-daemon when it got pulled in as a suggest or recommend of another package.

The average uses won't be able to figure out what pronged his system.

avahi-daemon

Pulled in by
libnss-mdns  ?

network-manager  fails to work - no dhcpd -- breaks openvpn


If avahi is supposed to be the new Debian standard, there needs to be a way of blacklisting it's 
installation.

I don't think it ought to run by default in systems that are using DHCPD and/or openvpn until it 
learns not to overwrite routes etc.

I have no idea if it will be able to coexist with these other packages - some way of understanding 
that a huge change is occurring during installation needs to be announced.
