Bug#404534: libnss-mdns: mdns breaks my local used .local ..

Package: libnss-mdns
Version: 0.8-6.1
Severity: important

resolving does not work anymore, internally and externally. I think this comes due to my local .local domain. If I
edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and just delete the mdns stuff, all works as it should. I had this issue once, altered
nsswitch.conf and all was ok since then. Today there was an upgrade and as it seems it just deleted my settings in
nsswitch.conf (seen that as resolved in another bugreport... strange) so another missbehavior.

greetings
Michael

While it is not recommended to use nss-mdns on a network with a .local
TLD, it should disable itself automatically. However, I just noticed I
broke the Depends: of libnss-mdns in my NMU: could you please install
avahi-daemon 0.6.16-1 and see whether this fixes your problem?

Thanks,
