Public bug reported:
On a fresh Ubuntu 16.10 (yakkety) install, resolution of mDNS hosts
doesn't work anymore (it used to in xenial)
I can resolve names with avahi-resolve but ssh,ping,etc. fail to
resolve.
After some digging I found out that what's causing it is the "resolve"
option in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
hosts: files resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] mdns4_minimal
[NOTFOUND=return] dns
Changing it to
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
(as it was on xenial) makes mDNS work again.
