Avahi + mDNSResponder at the same time?

I was under the impression that avahi with the mDNSResponder-compat USE
flag would make it possible to have both mDNSResponder and avahi
installed at the same time, yet I am getting blocked packages error
messages. Is this impossible to pull off?

It's hard to say while the error message remains secret.

If you USE=mdnsResponder-compat you are telling avahi that you *don't*
want mDNSRespdonder. Consider the ebuild:

mdnsresponder-compat? ( !net-misc/mDNSResponder )

So enabling the flag is results in explicit blockage.

But, I'm assuming, the flag provides avahi with
mdnsresponder-compat(ibility) so you shouldn't need both installed at
the same time.

Also, from the USE description:

mdnsresponder-compat : Enable compat libraries for mDNSResponder

So it looks like having them both installed simultaneously would result
in both providing the same service.
