How to install avahi-browse.

Official Hardware Retired Yún Shield

I need avahi-browse (or something similar) but when I try to install the package I get an error

opkg install avahi-utils
Installing avahi-utils (0.6.31-12) to root...

Configuring libavahi-client.
Collected errors:
 * check_data_file_clashes: Package avahi-dbus-daemon wants to install file /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon
        But that file is already provided by package  * avahi-nodbus-daemon
 * check_data_file_clashes: Package avahi-dbus-daemon wants to install file /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon
        But that file is already provided by package  * avahi-nodbus-daemon
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package avahi-utils.

This looks like some dependency problem between avahi-dbus-daemon and avahi-nodbus-daemon.

I'm making more and more progress now. Basically this is the only yun shield problem I still have.
This is going to be a problem in the near future.

The problem I'm trying to fix is as follows.
Suppose you have a PC (called PC) and 2 yunshield robots (called robot1 and robot2).
From the bonjour enabled PC I can reach the robots with the name robot1.local and robot2.local.
However from robot1 I can not reach the pc or robot2. robot2.local and pc.local are unknown.

This problem existed on yun and I build a workaround based on avahi-browse but due to the error above I can not install avahi-browse Yun: Bonjour service (ip resolution) does not work on yun. · Issue #7 · arduino/openwrt-yun · GitHub

Input is welcomed :slight_smile:
Best regards

Some follow up:
Thanks to impressiver I have avahi browse working again. Upgrade firmware to 1.6.2 - Arduino Yún - Arduino Forum
The steps are

$ opkg remove avahi-nodbus-daemon --force-depends
$ opkg update
$ opkg install dbus dbus-utils
$ opkg install avahi-dbus-daemon --force-overwrite
$ opkg install avahi-dnsconfd avahi-utils
$ reboot
