Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.22-3
Severity: normal
I can't disable ipv6 because use-ipv6=no is insufficient to stop the daemon
from using ipv6 (syslog shows registering ipv6 addresses and avahi-resolve
--name name.local shows an ipv6 address. This is a problem because I am trying
to use avahi for a network that is separate by a non-ipv6 router (but can pass
mDNS traffic). The router can see both sides but they can't talk to each other
using avahi.local names because they're trying to use ipv6.

It turns out to be user error. It was the shorewall having an option
MULTICAST which isn't the type of multicast avahi uses and in fact
enable it breaks avahi unless you specifically have rules for that
multicast traffic.
