Hi!

avahi-daemon is definitely not fucking your network configuration up. How do
I know this? It doesn't even have priviliges to do that! It is run as
user "avahi" and inside a chroot, so there is no way to fuck up your
network configuration (unless you use avahi-dnsconfd, which you
apparently don't). Unless, of course, there's a bug in your dhcp
client or the kernel you're using. In which case you should file bugs
against those packages!

So, shut up and do your homework before raising random accusations
against avahi!

Besides that, avahi-daemon is not even a hard dependency of
libgnomevfs! if you don't like it, don't install it!
