what does 'ls /usr/lib/pkgconfig/avahi-*' give ? I think you need to rebuild avahi with gtk useflag. Using gtk useflag for glib dep is dubious however, I think the avahi maintainers should reconsider that.
It made sense as no other application was using avahi. Avahi itself onyl need the glib library for the gtk+ stuff. With applications being ported to avahi and using the glib library, it surely makes sense to change the behaviour. But adding a glib flag is not the best solution, as we probably will only need libavahi-glib outside of avahi together with libavahi-client, which needs dbus. So we should make it also depend on the dbus flag or include it uncoditionally. I'll go for the dbus flag solution.
ok, i made it unconditional now
what's the status of this bug ? Seems to be solved.
this particular version is out of the tree now, can you close this bug ?
i am unable to check at the moment, but from the comments this seems to be fixed. thanks
