The last time AVAHI got installed on one of my systems the installer started it immediately. Avahi then proceeded to scribble on that system's network configuration and confuse other systems on that subnet.
I would assert that Avahi should be either (a) not automatically started when installed or (b) split. I am not asking for a general split. This one package causes a lot of confusion if the daemons are started. A simple "do you want to enable the daemons?" would be good enough. Is this worth considering? thanks geoff steckel
