avahi daemon unable to start after upgrade to Jaunty

[David Lee Lambert]

I just upgraded to Jaunty skipping a couple of releases, probably from Gutsy or Hardy. The system no longer broadcasts its IP address using the Bonjour protocol, because the daemon doesn't start.

# /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart
