Hi all,

I recently installed Debian on my old desktop, before this it was running 
Ubuntu. So my issue is before installing debian I was able to ping me other 
machine using ```ping hostname.local```, but after installing debian 12 I am 
not able to do that. I am not expert in computer so kindly help me. If you guys 
need more info then please ask me as I don't know all the networking stuff. 

OS: debian 12.10 [updated]

```avahi-daemon``` is installed, and running.

```libnss-mdns``` is also installed. nss-lookup.target is inactive though. And 
As I tired to start it through systemd there was a error which read.

Failed to start nss-lookup.target: Operation refused, unit nss-lookup.target 
may be requested by dependency only (it is configured to refuse manual 
start/stop). See system logs and 'systemctl status nss-lookup.target' for 
details.   

There is already a line in /etc/nssitch.conf 

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns

systemd-resolved is not installed.
