[ubuntu-uk] Minor SSH Issue

Thanks for all the suggestions about getting Ubuntu MATE to recognise other nodes on my network using the .local hostname as well as just the IP address.

A number of Avahi-related packages are missing from Ubuntu MATE (14.10) compared with other flavours in which .local hostnames are recognised out of the box:

gnome-user-share
libavahi-compat-libdnssd1
libmono-zeroconf1.0-cil
avahi-discover
avahi-dnsconfd

Clearly the absence of each and every one of these packages can't have been equally to blame, and several of them bring quite a few dependencies across with them. However, installing them all got everything working properly.

Thanks again.

Nige
