Openssh and dhcpcd updated today - now sftp cannot find local servers

Hi folks,
I did my update thing this evening 'packer -Syu' and openssh was updated to 6.6p1
[2014-03-19 18:44] [PACMAN] upgraded openssh (6.5p1-2 -> 6.6p1-1)
and dhcpcd was updated to 6.3.2-1
[2014-03-19 18:43] [PACMAN] upgraded dhcpcd (6.3.1-2 -> 6.3.2-1)
and then sftp stopped working as it was ok before the updates.
I get error messages like this:
[dellgx270:steve] /home/steve
1442 20140319 234019 $ sftp laptop.local
ssh: Could not resolve hostname laptop.local: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
[dellgx270:steve] /home/steve
1443 20140319 234030 $ _
This is how I network my machines. Its much lighter on resources than either NFS or Samba, but is a bit tricky to configure at first go. The Arch Wiki has some older stuff in it and is a bit confusing for first-time users but I also 'googled' other forums and eventually got things configured correctly. Ubuntu flavors work out of the box, but Arch needs some extra leg-work to get things organized.
I tried removing the ~/.ssh/known_hosts files but that didn't work. Since the error was a resolver issue (according to my error messages) I tried using the IP address of the laptop.local machine 192.168.2.10 and that worked both at the command line and via my file manager thunar (I run XFCE on all my boxes because it works well and with a few additions I can get it to do what I want) ...
Problem is, the IP addresses are assigned by dhcpcd (which means they can get reassigned somewhere else) so I would prefer using the host.local names in scripts and bookmarks etc.
Anyone else having issues of this sort? Inquiring minds need to know!

From the Arch Wiki - Networking - Avahi page (this is what I've been using for more than a year):
"Avahi is a free Zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) implementation, including a system for multicast DNS/DNS-SD service discovery. It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network with no specific configuration. For example you can plug into a network and instantly find printers to print to, files to look at and people to talk to. It is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)."
I don't use hosts file or anything else to resolve the names of the local workstations and/or devices. I have a relatively new Sagemcom fibre router / modem device, and it has been working well since installation ..
What I've been trying to say - as in my initial post - that this worked properly before I did the dhcpcd update. I'll recheck all the settings for dhcpcd, ssh and sftp (and anything else in my networking configurations) to see if anything is in error. There were no .pacnew files created during that software update. I'll post anything that I learn.

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Are you getting a message about an unsupported SIM? It sounds like you had a phone that had been hacked to work on a network other than the one it was locked to and updating it has re-locked the phone to the original network.
Where exactly did you get the phone? What network are you on? If you did not purchase your phone directly from DU or from Etisalat (assuming you are using a carrier in the UAE) or from a carrier in the country where you purchased the phone or directly from Apple, then you got a gray market phone and it was most likely hacked to unlock it in the first place. Most of these gray market, hacked phones come from the US and were originally locked to AT&T.
Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, they will NOT authorize an unlock.
If any of my assumptions are incorrect, I apologize. We need more information, though to make a recommendation.

One of my apps has recently updated. Now I cannot get into it . How do I get my data back?

One of my apps has recently updated. Now I cannot get into it. I am afraid if I delete it , it will lose its data. Help.

First check to see if it's on the multitasking list and if so, force close it: double-tap the home button, locate the app in question, swipe up on the image above the app icon then tap the home button again.
If not, try restoring your most recent backup. It should include the app data. This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud.

Why am I now receiving the error 42404: a required iTunes component is not installed after the 10.5.3 iTunes update? Now, I cannot sync my iphone...

Why am I now receiving the error 42404: a required iTunes component is not installed after the 10.5.3 iTunes update? Now, I cannot sync my iphone...I have uninstalled and re-installed several times now without any luck.
Thanks,

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
Metadata is the info on what the data IS.
Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess.
This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data. One isnt enough, neither is two really.
see here, and dont let that happen again>

Was that your only copy of your priceless data? Just that one external HD?

Mmmm, try checking for available downloads from the store menu, if that doesn't help, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain files. These JPG's are there on my hard drives however . I rely heavily on the search facility and this is slowing me down.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain JPG 's . These files do exist however I can find them manually . I rely on the search facility and this is slowing me down, I am having to trawl through stuff to find the file I want , before I would put in part of the title and the machine would find it.

You badgered me into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** are they?

I was badgered into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** did they go and how can I get them back? You folks at Apple sure make it hard to like you or want to use your products.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't normally lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the main iTunes library folder (and subfolders if possible) from any real-time scanning process.
