I am stuck at the same place you were in your "How to get hosts out of 'avoid' state" thread. Strange thing is that from the UI perspective it looks like the host is up, but it is only in the logs that it says that the host is in the avoid state. How does one get 4.0.2 which apparently fixes this? Do I need to build from source? I am currently using the ppa to install on ubuntu 12.04.
