Uninstalling "libnss-mdns" _might_ break avahi and therefore anything that uses it - but that's just an guess... It looks like the difference between " libnss-mdns" and "lib32nss-mdns" is that "lib32nss-mdns" is meant to bring in "libc6-i386" because "This is the 32bit version of the library, meant for AMD64 systems" - although "lib32nss-mdns" is described as "is built for 32-bits environments" which I find somewhat confusing. root@vishaala:~# apt-cache show libnss-mdns Package: libnss-mdns Source: nss-mdns Version: 0.10-3.2 Installed-Size: 144 Maintainer: Utopia Maintenance Team <pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5), base-files (>= 3.1.10), avahi-daemon (>= 0.6.16-1) Suggests: avahi-autoipd | zeroconf Description-en: NSS module for Multicast DNS name resolution nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution via Multicast DNS (using Zeroconf, aka Apple Bonjour / Apple Rendezvous ), effectively allowing name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local. <snip> root@vishaala:~# apt-cache show lib32nss-mdns Package: lib32nss-mdns Source: nss-mdns Version: 0.10-3.2 Installed-Size: 120 Maintainer: Utopia Maintenance Team <pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.1.3), base-files (>= 3.1.10), avahi-daemon (>= 0.6.16-1) Suggests: avahi-autoipd | zeroconf Conflicts: libc6-i386 (<= 2.9-18) Description-en: NSS module for Multicast DNS name resolution (32-bits version) nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution via Multicast DNS (using Zeroconf, aka Apple Bonjour / Apple Rendezvous ), effectively allowing name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local. .
