avahi-daemon: fails to start without libavahi-core3 installed

[Frederik Juul Christiani]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.8-1ubuntu1
Severity: important


avahi-daemon fails to start without the package libavahi-core3
installed. This package is not listed as a dependency.

% dpkg -S libavahi-core.so.4
libavahi-core3: /usr/lib/libavahi-core.so.4
libavahi-core3: /usr/lib/libavahi-core.so.4.0.0

This is what happens without libavahi-core3 installed:

% sudo invoke-rc.d avahi-daemon start
 * Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon
 * /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon: error while loading shared libraries:
 * libavahi-core.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
 * directory
/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon: error while loading shared libraries:
libavahi-core.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
                                                                       [fail]

With libavahi-core3 installed it starts without problems.

% sudo invoke-rc.d avahi-daemon start
 * Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon                     [ ok ]
