[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#781933: avahi-daemon: Missing dependency on net-tools package

[Olaf Meeuwissen]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.31-4+b2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5

Dear Maintainer,

The /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh script call ifconfig
and route in its dns_reachable() function.  These utilities are
part of the net-tools package but avahi-daemon does not declare a
dependency on this package.  The ifupdown only suggested it, so I
purged net-tools.  Now I get error messages when running

 sudo ifdown -a
 sudo ifup -a

These are the error messages in question:

 /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh: 35: /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh: ifconfig: not found
 /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh: 39: /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh: route: not found

Simply adding net-tools to the Depends: should fix this.
