Comment 2 for bug 261847

mdz tested the program from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477211 and apparently it works fine without libnss-mdns installed. Matthias, does that change the situation here? Is this due to a mismatch between system nsswitch.conf and the available non-default-bit packages in a biarch environment, rather than being something we need to worry about in the normal case?
