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.

Regards,

Robert Derochette
