because it requires howl i guess and gnomevfs has an optional dep on avahi and those services clash. Possible option is to dep on avahi with howl-compat enabled, not sure if it works ? Not sure either. I didn't know about that whole howl thing, AllanonJL told me to report it. well howl? ( x ) avahi? ( avahi ) and then check if avahi is built with howl-compat should do the trick I guess. Also would deal with the case where people want to keep using howl with gnome (illogical, but who knows). Or this could need a virtual/zeroconf or something, but since implementations are blocking and not all apps work with all libs it could prove to be messy. Comment 2 is right. The services do crash which is why the flag was pulled from gnome-games. Everything was supposed to switch over to avahi for gnome-2.14 but gnome-games didn't quite get finished upstream. I haven't tested, but using howl-compat should work. You would probably have to patch gnome-games to use the howl-compat pkg-config file instead of looking for the howl version. I don't think its possible to do a virtual at this time since as foser says, there are blockers and most applications usually just support one or two zeroconf libraries. sorry, s/crash/clash i'm closing this as WONTFIX for now unless a user specifically requests it. we should just wait for proper avahi support since nothing else in 2.14 requires howl.
