Package: libavahi-core6 Version: 0.6.25-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Patch "30_dont_reflect_link-local_addresses.patch" added in revision 0.6.25-3 introduced a regression that causes the mDNS response handler to completely ignore records with link-local addresses. To reproduce this bug just try to use avahi-resolve-host-name to lookup an host with a link-local IP address. The attached patch seems to resolve the bug.
