Package: avahi-daemon Version: 0.6.25-4 Severity: normal Hi,
The patch for #517160, filtering out link-local addresses, affects more than just the reflector feature of avahi-daemon. With the patch applied, it is impossible to get a link-local IPv6 address when resolving a service, which is an issue when the LL address is the only address advertised by the device. This is the case with Apple's devices (#517160 takes the AirPort Extreme as an example, the same is true for the AirPort Express) that only advertise their LL IPv6 address via mDNS, even if they have a global address configured. So in effect, it is no longer possible to rely on Avahi to reach any device with a similar behaviour over IPv6. The LL filtering should be done only for the reflector.
