Description BobbyK 2013-05-11 13:44:35 UTC
kdelibs ebuild (http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-4.10.2-r1.ebuild?view=markup) has the following (lines 283 and 284):

elog "To make zeroconf support available in KDE make sure that the 'mdnsd' daemon"
elog "is running."

There is no package supplying an 'mdnsd' daemon in Gentoo portage tree, the functionality is provided by net-dns/avahi[mdnsresponder-compat], though that installs an "avahi-daemon" rather than an "mdnsd".  

http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_f420c354ab23da51c943dff9cb4d9e76.xml has the following:

To: 	Gentoo Dev <gentoo-dev@g.o>

Subject: 	Last rites: net-misc/mDNSResponder
Date: 	Sun, 3 Jun 2012 22:53:29 +0200 

For removal in 30 days.

# Andreas K. Hüttel <dilfridge@g.o> (03 Jun 2012)
# Not maintained well in Gentoo for a long time. Better support 
# for zeroconf is available via net-dns/avahi[mdnsresponder-compat]
# - please use that instead. mDNSResponder will be removed soon.
net-misc/mDNSResponder
