I get the same problem on my gentoo box. A simple way to reproduce is adding "127.0.1.1 hostname" to you /etc/hosts

Not sure about secondary IPs, but I would expect other bugs/reports to be related.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831022 Title: avahi daemon erroneously assumes host name conflicts (and causes more trouble then) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/831022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
