Package: avahi-daemon Version: 0.6.32-2 Severity: normal On one of my systems, avahi-daemon can't start due to its default rlimit-nproc value of 3.
In my case this seems to be because an lxc container running on this host is using the same uid for avahi as the host system, but for a different function. Even if it was using it for the same function, the rlimit-nproc is enforcing in the wrong scope it seems.
