<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes#Avahi will not
start if a .local domain is present>:
The avahi-daemon package, which implements the mDNS "zeroconf" standard,
includes a check to avoid running when a conflicting .local DNS domain
is present. It is reported that some ISPs advertise such a .local domain
on their networks, which will leave Ubuntu 9.04 hosts unable to see
names advertised on the local network (327362).
To force the use of mDNS on a network configured this way, users can run
the command:
sudo sed -i -e'/AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL/s/1/0/' /etc/default/avahi-
daemon
** Changed in: ubuntu-release-notes
Status: New => Fix Released
