Avahi isn't necessary. Kdeconnect compiles and start fine without Avahi. Also the mobile devices are found without Avahi perfectly.  

Reproducible: Always

Thanks, fixed in CVS and git.

It looks like upstream dropped support some time ago.

+  02 Feb 2015; Michael Palimaka <kensington@gentoo.org> kdeconnect-0.7.3.ebuild:
+  Drop net-dns/avahi dependency which is no longer needed wrt bug #538166.
