Description Stanislav Brabec 2006-02-14 18:38:08 UTC 
avahi-dnsconfd does not start during boot, if it is turned on by default, but later it is no problem.

I guesss, that Required-Start: avahi should be Required-Start: $avahi, but it is not sufficient - even if avahi-daemon is started first, it fails.

Possible reasons:
- some service is not yet ready
- race during initializing of daemon (if it is race, it does not occur, if it is started from shell)
- application depends on PATH or any other variable not set during boot

Adding a sleep until /var/run/avahi-daemon/pid appears. I hope it will fix the problem.
