As a user of KDE, I have plenty of applications that depend on mDNSResponder. But at the same time, I am a user of OpenOffice.org, Firefox, eclipse and many others that depend on avahi (mainly because of gnome-vfs). The current conflict has the following consequence: I cannot update the applications that depend on avahi because avahi cannot be updated. Therefore, my question is the following: what should I do to have Firefox, OpenOffice.org and the like updated? Should I delete avahi and force a dependence of these applications with howl/mDNSResponder? Should I wait till Gnome and KDE find an agreement on this conflict :) ?
