Core 145 (on i586-PAE) is not starting avahi.
[root@briar ~]# driverless
ippfind: Unable to use Bonjour: Daemon not running

I tried re-installing avahi, to no avail.
[root@briar ~]# pakfire install avahi

The suggestion to install nss-mdns also failed
[root@briar ~]# pakfire install nss-mdns
PAKFIRE WARN: The pak “nss-mdns” is not known. Please try running “pakfire update”.
avahi was working on core 144 (although on ARM architecture - I did not check it on i586-PAE, which was running core 144 testing anyway)
“pakfire update” did not find nss-mdns
Is something else needed to get avahi working ?
