Package: libgnomevfs2-0 Version: 2.12.2-5 Severity: important I find it rather curious for GNOME to keep adding features just like that. Fact is, pulling in avahi really breaks existing setups.
I use DHCP here. If avahi-server (which is pulled in through the howl compat library by the latest libgnomevfs2-0) is started, I obtain a lease, and 10 seconds later *something* releases that lease again. If I stop avahi-server and obtain the lease, everything works fine. I will file a separate bug about this against avahi-server when I find out more. I don't use GNOME, just gucharmap (which I need). I don't see why I have to install avahi-daemon (and a whole lot of other crap) just to be able to use gucharmap. This *is* Debian, after all. Please make avahi stuff a recommendation or suggestion, not a dependency. Adding run-time linking abilities (i.e. loading the library when it's available at run-time, not at compile time) isn't *that* hard. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (600, 'testing'), (98, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libgnomevfs2-0 depends on: ii libavahi-comp 0.6.4-2 Avahi Howl compatibility library ii libbonobo2-0 2.10.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.3.5-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.31-1 common error description library ii libdbus-1-2 0.60-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib- 0.60-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgamin0 [li 0.1.7-3 Client library for the gamin file ii libgconf2-4 2.12.1-8 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomevfs2- 2.12.2-5 GNOME virtual file-system (common ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-14 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libhal-storag 0.5.5.1-5 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.5.1-5 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libkrb53 1.4.3-5 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii liborbit2 1:2.12.4-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libxml2 2.6.23.dfsg.1-0.1 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime Versions of packages libgnomevfs2-0 recommends: ii gamin 0.1.7-3 File and directory monitoring syst pn libgnomevfs2-extra <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?
