i have neither of them installed.
i have even unmerged kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi
tried masking both in package.mask
still the same block is holding my updates.
what has to be done?

Hi padoor
You must unmerge one of them. Try to unmerge mDNSResponder and try again.
| Code: |
emerge -C mDNSResponder
|
Read about that in the gentoo documentation

so that goes out because no such packages installed.
i am going try -avahi in make.conf
anyway kdelibs is dnsrespoder compatible.
any problems expected afterwards?

Hi. That is a very strange problem...
Anyway, and i assume you are using KDE, you shouldn't have any problem. I use KDE with -avahi use flag and everything works fine.
Cheers

so far it has been working with emerge packages updates.
in the middle it asked to run revdep-rebuild and it is a mess.
most packages shouts for avahi .
i will see about that after getting the system uptodate.
i emerged dnsresponder.
the kde works even without any of the avahi or dnsresponder, net connection and browsing i mean.
after xorgserver 1.5.2 my X does not work correctly.i get 800x600 mode only and lower.
i will try with xorg.conf and get back.

same here:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I blame gnome for this:
Gnome wants net-misc/vinagre and vinagre wants avahi.

If you mask mDNSResponder, then emerge will tell you what package is trying to pull it in as a dependency. |

Ive add USEflag avahi and mdnsresponder-compat.
That does the trick.
Thanks for the responses

I tried that but its not working
| Code: |
# emerge -uDNpv world |grep avahi

Edit : fixed it by masking net-misc/vinagre-2.24.1 |

..and here is the newbie question of the day..
What does avahi do? What about mdnsresponder?
I would like to make up my mind about how to fix this based on that knowledge |

Ok, I am not happy.
I added avahi and mdnsresponder-compat to my use flags.
I masked mdnsresponder and vinagre...
STILL mdnsresponder wants to be installed, it does not even complain about bein masked... |

Thank you for helping.
I get:
| Code: |
kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.9-r4 (!avahi & !bindist? net-misc/mDNSResponder)
net-print/cups-1.3.8-r2 (zeroconf & !avahi? net-misc/mDNSResponder)
|
Not exactly sure how to read that...
kdelibs and cups depend on mDNSResponder? What does the stuff about avahi and zeroconf in brackets mean? !avahi seems to imply (REALLY just guessing here) that you can NOT have avahi and mdnsresponder at the same time? That would mean I would need to get rid of my avahi flags..
I use KDE, by the way, should that make a difference |

Indeed, as far as i understand, both does the same thing, so, you (we) have to make a choice.
the zeroconf USE-flag gives for explanation this: Support for DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD)
Also not sure what this is all about.
I thought zeroconf was for giving a fake IP when you don't get one, like 169.254.x.x
So, if i was you, i would remove USE-flag zeroconf and bindist and add USE-flag avahi in /etc/make.conf.
Next:
| Code: |
emerge -C net-misc/mDNSResponder
emerge cups kdelibs
emerge -uDN @system @world
|
Hope this works for you.

No. Same thing happening, the same block. mDNSResponder is not installed, so trying to clean it does nothing, by the way..
This is frustrating... |

You need to compile cups and kdelibs with avahi support to remove the block.
cups and kdelibs depend on mDNSResponder only if the avahi USE flag is disabled (that is what the !avahi part means). |

I can not emerge cups not kdelibs. The block blocks it both.
I set avahi and mdnsresponder-compat flags, for the heck of it set the -mdnsresponder flag as well, all to no avail.
What am I missing? *feels kinda dumb* |

Don't worry about feeling dumb. We all do from time to time.
Add "avahi" to your /etc/make.conf USE flag.
Add "zeroconf" to your /etc/make.conf USE flag.
| Code: | | nano -w /etc/make.conf |
After updating your /etc/make.conf file then execute:
| Code: | emerge -C mDNSResponder.
echo "net-dns/avahi mdnsresponder-compat" >> /etc/portage/package.use |
Everything that depends on mDNSResponder is supposed to have no problem with avahi instead of mDNSResponder if the "mdsnresponder-compat" USE flag is set. Your problem is because somewhere you ended up with inconsistent USE flags between packages. The above should resolve the inconsistent flag issue.
If you're still having a problem, execute:
If you still have a package with a USE flag of "-avahi" after setting "avahi" in /etc/make.conf, then check /etc/portage/package.use for that package and see what USE flags are being overridden in it.
Once your USE flags re: avahi are consistent, then execute:
This should work. After your emerges are all complete, execute:
to be sure you have a clean system.
Hope this helps and good luck!
edit
You might find the following interesting. These are the result of my equery d(pends) for both avahi and mDNSResponder. Remember, if you have the USE flag of "mdnsresponder-compat" set for avahi, then every package which lists mDNSResponder as a dependency should be happy using avahi instead.

After being sure my USE flags re: avahi were in sync across my packages, I ended up having to execute both:

emerge @preserved-rebuild |
So expect to spend a bit more time playing with this.
