Title:
  <name>.local resulting in unknown host

Status in Ubuntu MATE:
  New

Bug description:
  On an up to date install of Ubuntu Mate (updated from Beta 2) the command 
  ping name.local (where name is a machine on the local network) results in 
  ping: unknown host name.local

  I can ping the machine running Mate from other machines running Ubuntu
  12.04 and 14.04 and they can ping each other using name.local, but the
  Mate machine does not recognise any of the others.

  On the Mate machine avahi-browse shows all the machines on the network, so I see information such as
  +   eth0 IPv4 name [f0:ad:4e:00:41:33]                       Workstation          local

  I don't know whether this is a Mate specific issue.
