Hi,

the only change in libavahi-client between 0.6.26 and 0.6.27 is:

git log v0.6.26..v0.6.27 -- avahi-client

    client: update libavahi-client so that it can deal with auto-activated avahi
daemons


Coud you try to revert that patch [1] and test if that fixes your problem.
From looking at the change though, it seems no related to your Bonjour problem
in pidgin.

Cheers,
Michael
