Conflict between avahi and howl/mDNSResponder
in [Ports]
|
From: Willy Picard on 6 Jul 2006 07:14 Hi, Currently, avahi conflicts with howl/mDNSResponder. As a user of KDE, I have plenty of applications that depend on mDNSResponder. But at the same time, I am a user of OpenOffice.org, Firefox, eclipse and many others that depend on avahi (mainly because of gnome-vfs). The current conflict has the following consequence: I cannot update the applications that depend on avahi because avahi cannot be updated. Therefore, my question is the following: what should I do to have Firefox, OpenOffice.org and the like updated? Should I delete avahi and force a dependence of these applications with howl/mDNSResponder? Should I wait till Gnome and KDE find an agreement on this conflict :) ?

This has been raised a number of times, check the archives. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

First, thank you very much for this very interesting contribution!!! This is a real good piece of help! For those that still have the avahi+howl+mDNSResponder conflict, here is a way to turnaround the problem: 1) Remove the /var/db/ports/avahi/options file if you have one 2) Run the following command: portupgrade -o net/avahi -f howl 3) When the option page appears, DO NOT enable the mDNSResponder compatibility 4) Run the following command: portupgrade -f avahi This is working for me and I hope it may help other persons to overcome the avahi+howl+mDNSResponder conflict. If the proposed solution is wrong or incorrect, please let others know about it.
