Avahi package does not survive a config restore on pfsense 2.6.0 due to missing avahi-daemon package
-
@dennypage Meanwhile I upgraded the same hardware box to pfsense 2.7.0 CE and restoring a backup config.xml now also restores the avahi package without any errors.
Same box, same configuration, just running 2.7.0 CE instead of 2.6.I upgraded via the CLI and did not even uninstall the packages (as is recommended before the upgrade process)
So 2.7.0 fixes my problem.

@StadaanZee sounds like
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-0.html#package-system
Fixed: Packages are not automatically reinstalled when restoring configuration using the installer #12105
Fixed: Packages with custom internal_name values do not reinstall properly when restoring a backup #12766 -
@SteveITS 2.7.0 CE fixed the restore issue with Avahi for me. However, I can only confirm it as "fixed" on a single pfsense box with a maximum of 2-3 restores.
My pfsense has only been updated a few days ago. Early days, without another user also confirming it as fixed I would say.
