[avahi] avahi 0.6-14 in suse 10.2 doesn't attempt to join multicast

[Trent Lloyd]

Hi Nate,

I think SuSE applied the WRONG fix
 Mar 18 03:39:47 tlaloc avahi-daemon[32653]: netlink.c: packet not
> from the kernel

I advised all vendors remove this patch as it was incorrect and broke
Avahi completely, the correct fix was rolled into 0.6.15

This needs to be filed upstream with suse to fix their broken fix.

Where do we do that?

Trent
