Versions 0.8-6 and 0.8-6.1 (my first NMU of the package) did not remove the entries for mdns of nsswitch.conf. I knew this fact when I uploaded the NMU but did not address it as the maintainer of the package had described this fact explicitely in README.Debian which explained this would result in an unnoticable delay; from 0.8-6/nss-mdns-0.8/debian/README.Debian: """ Note: this is never removed once installed, the side-effect of not removing the entry is that there is a slight delay (similiar to how the Standard C libraries searches for optimised versions) during program startup and execution """ It turned out to cause problems to leave this entries, and I re-added a postrm snippet based on work by Joey Hess in his 0.8-4.2 NMU of the package. I've re-added the removal in my second NMU, 0.9-0.1. You probably removed the package in version 0.8-6.1, if you upgrade and remove it in version 0.9-0.1, it should not cause the side effects you noticed. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
