Package: pidgin
Version: 2.7.2-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Currently when I startup pidgin I get a message displayed at the bottom
of the
buddy list saying that pidgin couldn't connect to avahi-daemon. The message
reads:
go8...@svelt disconnected
Unable to establish connection with the local mDNS server. Is it running?
Here are relevant debug lines from pidgin:
geo...@svelt:~/tmp$ pidgin -d 2>&1 > ~/tmp/pidgin.debug
geo...@svelt:~/tmp$ grep -i bonjour pidgin.debug

There are no iptables rules getting in the way:
geo...@svelt:~$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
BTW I'm at debconf this week, if that helps to meet up and debug this.
