Package: libnss-mdns Version: 0.8-4.2 Severity: important Hello !
In aptitude libnss-mdns version 0.8-4.2 is automatically selected by aptitude as a package that can be deleted because there are no package that depend on this lib. However, it took me 3 days to figure out that this library is used by most programs that connect to the internet and use DNS resolving. For example, I can cite : firefox and thunderbird (if ipv6 dns resolution are enabled, which is case by default), xchat, telnet, whois, and even more, reportbug and apt-get (also aptitude) !!! I saw when reporting the bug that a new version was available in incoming, but as I could see that bug nowhere, I reported it anyway.
