--- Begin Message ---Package: lib32nss-mdns Version: 0.10-3 Severity: minor Googleearth needs that lib32nss-mdns is installed to run. However, this pulls in avahi-daemon and other stuff. If only lib32nss-mdns is installed (dpkg --force-all), googleearth does work well. I think that the depends:avahi-daemon could be lowered to a recommends:avahi-daemon (which will be installed by default, but it would be possible to keep it out).

Removing that dependency is the wrong place to break the chain; the right place would be for things that do not strictly need mDNS name resolution to not have hard dependencies on lib(32)nss-mdns. For example, Google Earth could have had a weaker dependency (Recommends) on lib32nss-mdns. I believe that dependency was only there to work around a historical glibc bug (its error behaviour when a configured NSS module is missing was wrong), and that was fixed several years ago. In any case, there is no longer a lib32nss-mdns package, so there is nothing to do to resolve this bug. I have added an automated test to libnss-mdns that will verify that the glibc bug does not come back. S
