Bug Description
A change in the mainline kernel to fix a bug in netlink request flag handling has exposed a corresponding bug in the use of netlink within avahi. This leads to the daemon hanging during initialisation appearing as below:
$ ps -ef | grep avahi
avahi 2497 1 0 11:26 ? 00:00:00 avahi-daemon: starting up
This situation persists indefinatly. All requests timeout and the machine is not visible on the greater network.
