Bug#590760: [libavahi-client3] Breaks Bonjour protocol support in Pidgin
Bruno Kleinert
Version: 0.6.27-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hi,
upgrading to version 0.6.27-1 breaks the Bonjour protocol support in
pidgin. Activating a bonjour account in pidgin leads to the error
message "Unable to establish connection with the local mDNS server. Is
it running?".
Downgrading only libavahi-client3 to version 0.6.26-1 from testing
solves the issue and pidgin's Bonjour supports works fine again.
Cheers - Fuddl

Hi,
the only change in libavahi-client between 0.6.26 and 0.6.27 is:
git log v0.6.26..v0.6.27 -- avahi-client

client: update libavahi-client so that it can deal with auto-activated avahi
daemons
Coud you try to revert that patch [1] and test if that fixes your problem.
From looking at the change though, it seems no related to your Bonjour problem
in pidgin.
Cheers,
Michael

issue. I tested it with one pidgin instance running on my host system
and a second pidgin instance in a virtualbox debian sid, with bridged
networking. Everything works fine, no complaints of pidging anymore.
I attach the debdiff output to this mail.
