You'd need to move all three of avahi-daemon, avahi-autoipd, and libnss-mdns, because they work in concert. A convenient method may be to create a recommends dependency on a separate "avahi-desktop" package that depends on all three. It's not an optimal solution, but it is a workable one. As I have written at length on many occasions, avahi is insecure and unreliable for users, imposes an unnecessary burden on the Internet at large, and should be deprecated (certainly not installed by default). A "suggests" dependency would require a conscious decision to activate and is much preferred. However, moving "los tres diablos" to recommends would at least allow a user to purge them and still preserve smooth upgrades. -- avahi should be downgraded to Suggests dependency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192258 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
