      I'm running the current 2.0.3-RELEASE (i386) and the system (an Alix box) has been installing Avahi for the past six hours - it looks like the install has crashed!  The package install screen looks like this:

      Is anyone else having problems with Avahi?

        It's likely run out of space trying to add the package. What size CF are you using? How full is it?

          Thanks - just how big is Avehi then?  I have a 4Gb card so each slice should be 2Gb?

          $ df
          Filesystem            512-blocks      Used        Avail  Capacity    Mounted on
          /dev/ufs/pfsense0      3780028    822798    2654828        24%      /
          devfs                                2          2              0      100%      /dev
          /dev/md0                    78812      5988        66520          8%      /tmp
          /dev/md1                  118492    29716        79300        27%    /var
          /dev/ufs/cf                101055        720        92251          1%    /cf
          devfs                                2          2              0        100%    /var/dhcpd/dev

          I have Avahi running on another PC (hard disk based system) just fine.

            It's not necessarily space in the card that's running out, but space in the RAM disks (/tmp and /var) that get used up during a package install process.

              OK that would make sense because it's running fine on systems with more memory and disk space..  It used to work on the Alix a while back but it seems that it doesn't any more.  The only other package that I have loaded in blinkled.
