Browsing Avahi's local resources stopped working in a recent update.

It used to be working fine. Now:

Same problem on Debian unstable.

If I change use-ipv6 to off in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf and restart avahi-daemon with /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart it works ok. I'm not 100% sure if paths are same on ubuntu but you should try.

So if I'm right, it is related to ipv6 config on my machine or implementation in avahi?

Sam problem with Debain 10, and the above (disabling ipv6) fixes it.

Did anyone figure out what the issue was?
