[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#570165: avahi-daemon hangs

[Bjoern Franke]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.25-3
Severity: serious
Justification: unkown


After some time, avahi-daemon hangs and no new connection to the system
(ssh, nfs, etc.) is possible. 
I don't use avahi-daemon for anything in my
network.

I made a 'strace netstat'
[...]
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/avahi-daemon/socket"}, 110^C
<unfinished ...>

Then I tried to stop them via initscript:
Stopping Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemonFailed to kill daemon: Timer
expired

After killing the avahi-daemon processes manually the system runs fine
again.
