Thank you for working on this. I agree with your approach. The debdiff
looks good.
I think that though it's clear that the bug is in the host command,
given that we haven't been able to figure out the fix (I spent some time
on it too), it's reasonable to add the timeout command as in your patch
as a workaround. No need for the problem to persist when the workaround
is so clean and clear. I also approve the timeout workaround for SRU in
principle. We can leave a bug task open for bind, but consider a
separate bug task resolved in avahi packaging once this workaround is
applied.
A couple of comments from your current debdiff:
Please leave a comment above the timeout line explaining why it is there
("Workaround for LP: #1752411" is sufficient). For the SRU, I would
prefer a version string of "0.7-3.1ubuntu1.1" ("0.7-3.1ubuntu2" is
technically OK but doesn't convey that it is an SRU so well).
Please could you prepare a debdiff for Cosmic so that we can fix it
there first? Then follow
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure and attach an
updated debdiff for the SRU to Bionic. I'll be happy to sponsor both,
but will then need review from another SRU team member to accept it from
the queue.
