Please sync sobby 0.4.1-1 (universe) from Debian Sid (main)

Sobby does not start in Ubuntu Dapper.
Here is what i get when running it:
$ sobby -i
Generating RSA key pair...
Opening session...
*** WARNING *** The programme 'sobby' uses the HOWL compatiblity layer of Avahi.
*** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
*** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=howl&e=sobby>
sw_discovery_init() failed.

$ AVAHI_COMPAT_NOWARN=1 sobby
Fails as well but without the WARNINGs.

Fixed in Debian revision 0.3.0-3. The culprit is sobby dying from the exception when compiled with Zeroconf support, not the Avahi compatibility warnings. As a workaround you could install avahi-daemon, which will solve the issue, but this is not desirable on a public internet server.

I would appreciate if the MOTU team syncs sobby from Debian.

[Nicholas Wheeler (dragoncow2)]

Confirmed. Debian's patch fixed the problem.

[Joey Stanford (joey)]

Confirmed again.
