So apparently when built with avahi support, failures to contact the daemon is considered a fatal error (which spontaneously I thought would be better as just a warning, since this is an optional feature in the first place?!).... unless the user explicitly passes the --no-mdns option to disable mdns usage (so I guess it makes sense after all). > After installing avahi-daemon, the command worked successfully. It should > probably either depend upon or recommend avahi-daemon. Since there's a runtime switch to override mdns I'll add it as a Recommends. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
