[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#564607: avahi-daemon: doesn't work on kFreeBSD

[Julien BLACHE]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.25-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

avahi-daemon doesn't work on kFreeBSD (i386 at least); while the daemon
starts, it doesn't advertise anything on the network nor does it see any
advertisements from the network.

daemon.log has that to offer:

So it looks like something isn't quite going right at startup.
