I was having trouble getting avahi to run.

# /usr/local/sbin/avahi-daemon
Found user 'avahi' (UID 558) and group 'avahi' (GID 558).
Successfully dropped root privileges.
avahi-daemon 0.6.18 starting up.
WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns!

nss-mdns is installed.

ls -l /var/db/pkg/nss_mdns-0.9_3/
total 30

I just rebuilt avahi with mDNS toggled on (it was off before): should  
nss_mdns be a dependent if, as appears above, avahi won't run without  
it? And why would it fail to run if I didn't activate mDNS  
capability? As it turns out, I wanted that so it all ends up as I  
wanted it.

Alas, it still fails.

It was working fine a week or so ago.
