Avahi broken on Alix hardware?

edmund · Apr 18, 2013, 8:24 AM

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

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.
