Ouch, no IPv6 at all.

Well, your loopback is missing IPv6 too, and you did not touch your
loopback config?

Here is mine:

address@hidden:/usr/local/src/GPS/gpsd/gpsd# ip addr   
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever


Notice the ::1, that is IPv6 loopback.  That looks like you do not have
IPv6 on at all.

More evidence you have no ipv6, as that should be the default.

Here is mine, very simple:

address@hidden:/usr/local/src/GPS/gpsd/gpsd# cat /etc/network/interfaces 
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

Taking the simplest case, look at the lo.  Our lo is setups identical,
two lousy line, so I'm guessing aybe you are missing a module or kernel
option.

Here are my modules:

address@hidden:/usr/local/src/GPS/gpsd/gpsd# cat /proc/modules
pps_ldisc 1930 0 - Live 0x7f121000
ipv6 341380 30 [permanent], Live 0x7f0b2000
[...]

Notice the second one: ipv6.

Nope, different layers.  Avahi is UDP and TCP.
