Package: avahi-daemon Version: 0.6.30-5 Severity: normal
Because debian now changes the MAC address of interfaces on every boot (for privacy reasons I assume), the IPv6 address for the interface is different on every boot. Because the IPv6 address is different avahi ends up with a name conflict with the name cached in other avahi daemons on other hosts. This means hostname.local can't be used to address the host after a reboot because you end up with something like hostname-22 as the avahi name instead of hostname. This is somewhat problematic because it means you can't have a reliable hostname using avahi, which kinds of defeats the purpose as far as workstation records and libnss-mdns goes. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (100, 'stable-updates'), (100, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages avahi-daemon depends on: ii adduser 3.113 add and remove users and groups ii bind9-host [host] 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1+b1 Version of 'host' bundled with BIN ii dbus 1.4.14-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii host 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1 Transitional package ii libavahi-common3 0.6.30-5 Avahi common library ii libavahi-core7 0.6.30-5 Avahi's embeddable mDNS/DNS-SD lib ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcap2 1:2.22-1 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdaemon0 0.14-2 lightweight C library for daemons ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.14-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii lsb-base 3.2-27 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages avahi-daemon recommends: ii libnss-mdns 0.10-3.1 NSS module for Multicast DNS name Versions of packages avahi-daemon suggests: pn avahi-autoipd <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf changed: [server] use-ipv4=yes use-ipv6=yes ratelimit-interval-usec=1000000 ratelimit-burst=1000 [wide-area] enable-wide-area=yes [publish] add-service-cookie=yes [reflector] [rlimits] rlimit-core=0 rlimit-data=4194304 rlimit-fsize=0 rlimit-nofile=768 rlimit-stack=4194304 rlimit-nproc=3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
